South Yorkshire’s Mayor Oliver Coppard has launched the next phase of his Beds for Babies scheme that guarantees all children aged 5 and under a safe place to sleep.
The Mayor visited Mexborough Family Hub in Doncaster last week to open the first of four ‘test and learn’ pilots that will trial different ways of working with disadvantaged families to build trust with parents, and provide additional support that could lead to better health outcomes for children. The new pilots are part of the Beds for Babies: Safe Space to Sleep programme, that started in June last year with a £2.2 million investment over four years from the Mayor. Since then,
nearly 2300 free beds and bedding items, such as mattresses, have been given to more than 1500 children, so far.
The programme was set up by the Mayor to tackle health inequalities in South Yorkshire which are amongst the worst in the country. The average life expectancy of a child born in Doncaster is five years shorter than one born in areas such as Bromley in the South East of England.
The South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority will fund pilot initiatives across South Yorkshire to enable the testing of new approaches.
The four local authorities in the region will receive £150,000 each for pilots in areas with high levels of deprivation that are designed at a local level.
The first pilot at
Mexborough Family Hub will not only provide beds for families who need them but will also look at supporting the family more widely. This will include providing free bedtime bags, containing toothbrushes and books to establish good sleep hygiene and wellbeing among young children. As part of the pilot the offer of free beds will be extended to parents and older siblings of children aged 5 and under who qualify for the current Beds for Babies scheme.
Families will be invited to have a conversation with staff at the Hub to discuss if additional support is required. Where there is a need, parents will be referred to the appropriate voluntary or statutory organisations for help on a range of other services,
from housing to childcare and benefits available to parents in Mexborough.
The ‘test and learn’ pilots will build an evidence base of what works and inform best practice in areas such as better provision of beds, cots and bedding, liaising with housing services and connecting families to access other services. It will also help shape new approaches on building trust and stronger working relationships between statutory and nonstatutory organisations.
South Yorkshire’s Mayor Oliver Coppard, said: “Having a safe space to sleep for children aged 5 and under is often just one of the problems families face. Poor housing, poverty, a lack of support, and access to healthcare for whatever reason all
affect a child’s start in life.
“Often families, especially those who are working at the same time as experiencing poverty, are reluctant to ask for help.
“My Beds for Babies programme has already started tackling bed poverty in South Yorkshire with over 2300 beds and bedding given out to those who need it.
“Pilots such as the one we’re launching today in Mexborough goes one step further with more wraparound advice and support and they will help us understand what more we need to do if we are going to truly tackle child poverty in South Yorkshire.”

blood plasma donors
From today, NHS patients around the country are receiving a lifesaving medicine made from the plasma of blood donors in South Yorkshire. This historic milestone marks the first time in a quarter of a century plasma is being used to make life-saving medicines for NHS patients, reducing reliance on imports.These lifesaving medicines can only be made from human blood. Plasma makes up 55 per cent of our blood and contains antibodies which strengthen or stabilise the immune system. The antibodies are separated out and made into medicines which treat people with life limiting illnesses such as immune deficiencies.
Over the past three years, plasma from blood donors in South Yorkshire and across England has been stored up, and it has now been made into medicines through a weeks long manufacturing process. The first patients are receiving the medicines from today. The most important medicine is immunoglobulin. In South Yorkshire, more than 500 people receive immunoglobulin each year. In the last reported year, 342 patients received immunoglobulin at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
Over the past three years, blood donors in South Yorkshire have supplied around 22,000 litres of plasma, enough to make around 10,000 bottles of immunoglobulin, which is enough to save or improve around 280 lives a year. And thousands of patients rely on albumin – another plasma medicine – which is used in childbirth, trauma, and to treat liver conditions. The news is important because there is a global shortage of plasma medicines. The NHS has previously relied solely on imported plasma medicines as a lasting legacy of Variant Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease. The new supply of UK plasma medicines will bolster supplies to the NHS. It will reduce reliance on imports, which can be hit by reductions in supply and prices spikes. There are two ways that you can give plasma. Every time you give blood in South Yorkshire, your plasma

may be used too. Or you can donate plasma at three specialist sites in Birmingham, London and Reading. A recovered plasma donation gives us around 270 millilitres of plasma, whereas a plasma donation can give us between 560 millilitres and 700 millilitres.
Michelle Grainger, 58, from Wath upon Dearne in Rotherham, said immunoglobulin saved her life from a disorder that left her paralysed from the neck down. She developed Guillain-Barré syndrome in 2005. Michelle said: “I know firsthand how these medicine help save lives. It’s a relief to know we’re now making it from local blood donations too. It’s very expensive for the NHS to import. I am so grateful to everyone who donates blood. You are not just helping people with your red blood cells – now the plasma in your blood donation is helping people too.”
Daniel Cooper, NHSBT Assistant Director for Blood Donation Operations, said: “Thanks to our amazing blood and plasma donors in South Yorkshire and across England, for the first time in a quarter of a century, patients are now receiving plasma medicines made from donations taken in England. We need more blood donors to help make more of these medicines and build UK self-sufficiency. Your donation is now helping save lives in new ways. Go to blood.co.uk to become a donor.”
Dr Susan Walsh, the Chief Executive Officer of Immunodeficiency UK, said: “This is a historic moment – patients from South Yorkshire can now get lifesaving and life-improving immunoglobulin medicine made from the plasma of UK blood and plasma donors. Immunoglobulins recognise dangerous micro-organisms and help the immune cells to neutralise them. It’s a vital treatment for people with immune disorders. We urge people in South Yorkshire to try blood donation. Your red blood cells will be used as normal. But now the blood plasma can also help vulnerable people with immune disorders.”
The NHS needs more blood donors. Go to www.blood.co.uk to become a donor.
The rising cost of funerals, combined with the fact only 1 in 3 people put enough provision in place to pay for them, is leaving some families with debt and impacting their mental and physical wellbeing.
The UK’s longest running report into funeral costs has found that the cost of a simple, attended funeral has risen 3.5% in a year to £4,285, while an unattended cremation (also known as a direct cremation) has risen 6.7% to £1,597. The report also shows that while two thirds (68%) of people do make provisions to pay for their own funeral, only 38% leave enough to cover the whole cost. This lack of provision means that, on average, families are left to cover a shortfall of £1,695. While it is sometimes possible to release money from the deceased’s bank accounts for funeral costs before probate has taken place, a third of families are still left to cover at least some of the costs themselves, with 10% taking on debt to do so.
Cost of living crisis impacting families’ ability to cover funeral costs
According to SunLife’s findings, 33% of people who recently organised a funeral say the cost-ofliving crisis impacted how they organised and paid for it. One in eight (13%) say they had to cut back on certain aspects of the funeral because they couldn’t afford it, and 10% say the cost of living crisis added an extra layer of stress. One in five (22%) said paying for the funeral impacted their own standard of living, including 8% who had to cut back on essential items and 6% who struggled to pay essential bills.
1 in 5 suffer ‘notable’ financial difficulties paying for a funeral –and are struggling with £240m of funeral debt
The study also shows that for one in five (18%) families, having to find the money to pay for a loved ones’ funeral caused notable financial difficulties. This group have to find an average of £2,370 to cover the cost. A quarter of those with notable financial concern report struggling to pay essential bills or rent, and 34% have to cut back on essential items such as food. To make up the shortfall, one in four (24%) use a credit
card, and 12% take out a loan to cover the cost. On average, this group take on £3,109 of debt. A further one in four (23%) borrow from a friend or relative, while one in five (19%) sell belongings to cover the cost. 3 in 4 (75%) say paying for a funeral impacted their mental health, while 60% said it impacted their physical health. For some, costs may be recouped from the deceased’s estate once it has been administered. But, as a funeral typically takes place before probate, families may still be left struggling to cover the cost in the short term.
Mark Screeton, CEO at SunLife said: “Funeral costs have risen dramatically in the 21 years we’ve been tracking them. Back in 2004, the average cost of a simple, attended funeral was £1,835. Today, it stands at £4,285 – a staggering 134% increase, far outpacing inflation over the same period. Couple this with the ongoing cost-of-living crisis and the fact that many people don’t leave enough provision to cover their funeral – or even share their preferences – and you have a situation where grieving families can be left struggling with debt at an already difficult time. Most of us have an idea of what we’d like for our own funeral, but we rarely communicate it. Our study shows just half of funeral organisers know whether loved ones wanted a burial or cremation, while other preferences are even less known. And with over £1,000 difference in cost between the two options, this can bring an extra layer of financial pressure when loved ones are worrying about ‘getting it right’. One of the kindest things we can do for our loved ones is to open up and plan ahead. We need to break the stigma around talking about death, start discussing the kind of send-off we want, and where we expect the money to come from. By doing so, we can spare our families unnecessary financial and emotional stress when the time comes.”
Supertram have announced that there will be a temporary timetable put in place for the Blue and Yellow routes from Monday 10 March due to additional ongoing maintenance required on the ageing stock.
Services on Saturday 8 and Sunday 9 March continue to remain unaffected.
The Blue and Yellow routes will run at a frequency of every 15 minutes instead of every 12 minutes at peak time.
The Blue route covers Halfway to Malin Bridge and the Yellow route covers Meadowhall to Middlewood. There will be no service reductions on Monday to Saturday during early mornings and evenings, nor on Sundays. The Purple route and Tram Train services will remain unaffected.
Sean English, Managing Director from Supertram said: “Significant wear and tear over the winter period has affected the number of trams able to run safely across the network. Safety will always be our number one priority, therefore we’ve had to make a small number of cancellations in recent days. In order to give passengers certainty, a move to a temporary timetable will help them plan their journeys while repairs are made as quickly as possible. I would urge passengers to check the timetable
on the Travel South Yorkshire website and mobile app. We apologise to our customers for any disruption this causes.”
The fleet is now over 30 years old which means it requires investment to improve its reliability.
The South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA) is planning on investing over £15m over the next two years in an extensive overhaul to help improve reliability. This is part of the £100m investment SYMCA has secured for the Supertram system which will also see the replacement of rails, overhead line equipment, power equipment and control systems by 2027 to improve reliability and customer experience. As improvements will take a few years to fully implement, Supertram is focused on on-going maintenance of existing stock, ensuring safety is paramount and delivering for passengers. Supertram will provide a further update on when the timetable will go back to normal in due course. The temporary timetable can be found at www. travelsouthyorkshire. com/en-gb/supertram/ home.
military mapping maiden gladys celebrates her 104th birthday
One of the unsung heroes of the Second World War has celebrated her 104th birthday at Hackenthorpe’s Cotleigh Care Home.
Gladys Longley, served during the war years as a Military Mapping Maiden, one of the women who played an integral role in producing accurate and up-to-date maps for troops throughout the global conflict.
Her first job after leaving school was as a flower picker and she later worked at famous Sheffield department store Cole Bros. She met husband Cyril when she was out dancing and taking to the dance floor would remain a constant in their life together.
“Cyril came up to me and asked me if I liked dancing as he saw my feet tapping to the music,” she recalls.
“I said yes and even though he couldn’t dance, we went all around the country to different dance venues and I really loved dancing with him and met some great friends there.”
In later years Gladys and Cyril also discovered the

Since moving into Cotleigh - part of the group of nine homes operated throughout Sheffield by care home charity Sheffcare - Gladys has found a whole new circle of friends.
“I love playing cards, bingo and dominoes with the residents as I used to do these with my husband when I was younger,” she says.
“I am very proud that although I am 104 years old, I really enjoy the activities at the home.”

Russell HowaRd, lucy Beaumont & JoHn sHuttlewoRtH lead tRamlines comedy stage
Tramlines Festival has announced a bumper comedy line-up, bringing some of the sharpest, funniest, and most celebrated comedians in the UK to Hillsborough Park this summer.
From legendary Yorkshire comedy to TV heavyweights and rising stars, the laughs will come thick and fast across the festival weekend. These comedy heavyweights join headliners Pulp, The Reytons and Kasabian in Hillsborough Park for Sheffield’s largest outdoor festival on 25th - 27th July 2025. Friday’s line-up sees the return of Sheffield’s own John Shuttleworth, the alter ego of musician and comedian Graham Fellows. A true cult figure, John Shuttleworth’s awkward charm and homespun wisdom have made him a favourite
for decades. Joining him is Manchester’s Justin Moorhouse, a stand-up powerhouse known for his quick wit and appearances on ‘Live at the Apollo’ and ‘The News Quiz’. Nina Gilligan, winner of the prestigious Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year, will bring her razor-sharp, no-nonsense humour, while Danny McLoughlin’s laid-back storytelling style will set the tone for a cracking start to the festival. Saturday welcomes Hull’s Lucy Beaumont, one half of ‘Meet the Richardsons’ and a brilliant stand-up in her own right. Known for her deadpan delivery and observational comedy, Lucy has won over audiences on TV and the stand-up circuit alike. Irish comic Eleanor Tiernan, a regular on ‘The Alternative Comedy Experience’, is a favourite among comedy connoisseurs, while
Hayley Ellis brings her delightfully self-deprecating take on modern life. Rounding off the Saturday bill is Sally-Anne Hayward, a festival favourite who has shared the stage with the likes of Sarah Millican and Russell Howard.
Speaking of Russell Howard, Sunday’s line-up is headlined by one of the biggest names in UK comedy. A familiar face from his long-running hit show ‘Russell Howard’s Good News’ and ‘The Russell Howard Hour’, he’s known for his observational comedy and feel-good energy. He’s joined by Emmanuel Sonubi, a rising star whose effortless charisma and hilarious life stories have seen him smash ‘Live at the Apollo’ and ‘The Comedy Store’. Olivia Lee, best known for her cheeky hidden-camera pranks on Channel 4’s ‘Balls of Steel’, brings her sharp wit and fearless
comedy, while Tom Ward, with his unique mix of surreal observations and 80s nostalgia, will round off a stellar weekend of stand-up.
Tramlines Operations Director Timm Cleasby said: “Tramlines has always been about more than music, and this year’s comedy line-up is proof of that. There’s nothing better than seeing the comedy tent packed out, everyone belly-laughing at some of the best in the business. We’ve got TV favourites, rising stars, and grassroots legends all bringing their A-game to Hillsborough. Sheffield knows how to have a laugh, and this year’s comedy programme is shaping up to be one to remember.”
As one of the UK’s biggest metropolitan festivals, Tramlines continues to make a major economic impact on Sheffield,
generating millions for the local economy. A report released last December confirmed that the 2024 festival contributed over £3 million to the city, supporting local businesses, hospitality, and tourism. Alongside its economic benefits, Tramlines continues to invest in the community through the Tramlines Trust, which has
distributed over £260,000 to local projects since 2018.
Weekend, Saturday and Friday tickets have already sold out, with only a limited number of Sunday tickets remaining. More information and tickets are available at Tramlines’ official website.

WE GOT OUR REWARD IN THE END
“Really good from start to finish against stubborn opponents”, was boss Chris Wilder’s first words following United’s important home success over Preston North End on Saturday afternoon.
Tyrese Campbell’s eighth league goal of the season proved decisive, and the United manager felt
his side were worthy winners on Paul Heckingbottom’s return to Bramall Lane.
Wilder added: “We were really connected from the midfielder to the top of the pitch and perhaps should have got something more rewarding for our first 20-25 minutes, but we came in at 0-0 and we just told the players not
to get anxious.
“We’ve got players who can find those big moments and we did that with a fabulous ball from Harrison and a great finish by Ty. They went for it for it late on, going longer than they even did first half and perhaps it was more felt more anxious than it actually was.
“We are always looking
for that second goal and made positive substitutions, but when they are just shelling it forward you have to win first and second balls which we did, and you just have to see the game out.
“This team has got 78 points from 36 games this season, which is great going.”
THE PERFORMANCE AND THE RESULT
As Wednesday posted an impressive eighth win on the road this season, Danny Röhl hailed his side for ticking two key boxes.
Röhl has called for results to reflect performances, something that has evaded the Owls on more than the odd occasion.

Rotherham United have issued a ban to an individual who has been found guilty of throwing a missile onto the field of play during their recent Sky Bet League One meeting with Shrewsbury Town following a full investigation into the incident. The club were
BLADES INJURY UPDATE
Chris Wilder has admitted he has a couple of injuries to players to assess this week.
Ahead of the Blades midweek clash he said:
“Alfie (Gilchrist) is back with us, Harry (Clarke) is back with us as well because they both went to their parent clubs (for treatment) so we’ll assess them up to the weekend.
“Tom Davies won’t be available for the weekend, so that rules him out for tomorrow night as well.
“The two boys won’t be available for tomorrow night but there’s a chance they could be for Sunday. We’ll assess them during the week.”
Meanwhile, Wilder also gave an update on midfielder Oliver

Upon the conclusion of those investigations, the individual in question
Arblaster, who continues to make progress following an ACL injury sustained in November.
Wilder confirmed: “It’ll be next season, he’s got some hurdles to get over, he’s worked extremely hard and been diligent with his work. He’s chomping at the bit as you can imagine, but he’s still got a third of the work to go through. He’s in a good place, and he’s out on the grass and working but still that’s a medium-to-long term injury.
“He’ll be looking to come back into pre-season, whether it is the first day of pre-season he’s back in with the first team, we’ll work on that. He has a long summer ahead of him, a lot of work to put in to get himself right for the commencement of the new season.”

“MINUTE OF
Rovers allowed a two goal lead to slip away in a minute of madness as they were held to a frustrating draw against Swindon Town.
Rob Street fired Rovers in front after just 19 seconds with Joe Sbarra capping an excellent first half showing by doubling the advantage.
But Swindon roared out of the blocks at the start of the second period and netted twice in the space of a minute to draw the game level by 51 minutes.
Despite throwing plenty at their visitors,

Röhl said: “I am very happy. The last three games we have lost but were good performances without getting the results.
“This time we had the performance and
CALLUM PATERSON VOTED OWLS FEBRUARY PLAYER OF THE MONTH
Callum Paterson has been voted the Owls’ February Player of the Month, in association with MrVegas.com.
The Scot found the net twice for Wednesday in the second month of 2025, scoring
the result. We played some good football, we did the right things with the ball.
“We won the second balls, counter-pressed in the right areas and in the end, I think we could have scored four or five goals today.
“We scored the goals at good times and we were good all over the pitch. The clean sheet is very important and this is the result of a good team performance.
against West Brom and Sunderland.
Paterson has three goals in the Owls’ last seven games, taking his tally to six for the campaign, with only Josh Windass and Michael Smith having scored more.
The 30-year-old’s strike against the Black Cats was his 50th career goal in English football.
Speaking with swfc. co.uk, Paterson said: “I’m
“The number of points we have taken away from home is outstanding compared to last season and now we go again at Norwich on Tuesday.”
absolutely delighted, thanks to everyone who voted for me.
“I appreciate it, and it’s nice to be back out there and scoring some goals.
“I’m really happy to have reached 50 goals in English football, it’s a massive achievement.
“I’m not far off 50 goals in total for Sheffield Wednesday, so that’s my next mission.”
MADNESS SEES ROVERS LET TWO GOAL LEAD SLIP
Rovers could not find a winner on an afternoon which promised plenty but delivered only disappointment.
Late withdrawals ensured Grant McCann made five changes to his starting XI, including fielding an entirely fresh back four.
Tom Nixon came in for his first league start of the season along with Jack Senior, Tom Anderson, Charlie Crew and Sbarra. And they got off to the perfect start. George Broadbent produced a brilliant through ball to send Street racing into the box where he finished
low and hard past Swindon keeper Connor Ripley.
Confidence was high, typified by an audacious volley from Senior that saw the ball drift narrowly wide. But Rovers remained in the ascendency and doubled their advantage on 22 minutes. Luke Molyneux raced onto a ball down the right and sent in a low delivery which Sbarra side-footed home into the bottom corner.
Rovers were well on top but it took an excellent reaction stop from Ted
Sharman-Lowe to bat away a fierce volley from Joel Cotterill.
Swindon manager Ian Holloway sent on three substitutes at half time and the trio would play a major role in the visitors’ comeback.
Danny Butterworth pounced on a half clearance before lashing a fine strike into the bottom corner from 20 yards to reduce the deficit on 50 minutes. And before Rovers could react, Swindon found themselves level a minute later. Botan Ameen sent a low ball
into the middle where Joe Westley clipped a shot in at the near post. Swindon were buoyed and Sharman-Lowe came to Rovers’ rescue once more as he hooked a looping header from Harry Smith off his line. Rovers got back on the front foot and looked the more likely to find a winner in the remaining time.
Gibson drew a save from Ripley when pouncing on a low centre while Harry Clifton struck wide with his first touch after coming off the bench. Gibson broke through
on goal twice in the final quarter hour but could not get enough venom into his efforts. Rovers did have the ball in the back of the net inside the final two minutes when Billy Sharp turned in from Anderson’s downward header but the flag was up for offside.
And the final moment of threat saw Gibson fire straight at Ripley from a golden position inside the box.
