About Us

This website has been created for the Worsbrough community to enable news, views, events and groups to be promoted.

Voluntary Action Barnsley are the sponsors of the Worsbrough project which is funded by Objective 1 and SRB (Single Regeneration Budget) until March 2007.

The aim of the project is to undertake activities to address the areas prioritised with in the Worsbrough area, engaging the local community, local groups and agencies in working together to improve the quality of life for local residents. It will also develop initiatives and activities that will address the removal of barriers of work and gaining the skills and experience to support them into employment through training and volunteer opportunities. Links will also be made with Kendray and Worsbrough Community Partnership (KWCP) to develop an effective working relationship across the whole Partnership area. Gemma Fogg is the Partnerships Co-ordinator.

To deliver these activities the Community Participation Worker (Jill Bramall) will work across the whole of the Worsbrough area and will be supported by the Administration, Monitoring & Finance Officer (Julie Hallsworth).
