AMATEUR dancers who performed in front of a sold-out Civic helped raise more than £15,000 for Barnsley Hospital Charity.
The charity’s first Strictly Glitterball event, which took place on Tuesday, was a resounding success and saw nine beginners from local firms partnered with professionals.
It was all in aid of the charity’s Breast Care Appeal, which aims to raise £250,000 to modernise the hospital’s outpatient unit.
The event was won by Rapid Response Telecoms’ Connor Crowcroft and his partner, Lily Thomas.
Charity development manager, Jane Mills, told the Chronicle: “It was the first dancing event we’ve done but its success means it’s definitely returning next year.
“I’d like to thank everyone who gave up their time to get involved.”
