A COMMUNITY arts organisation based in Barnsley is set to close due to a lack of funding.

Action Space Mobile, is to close down at the end of the month after 31 years delivering arts projects in the region.

Under the artistic direction of founding artist Mary Turner, the organisation's artists have creatively engaged with disadvantaged people.

They have worked with children and adults with learning disabilities, people recovering from addictions, those with mental health problems, the elderly with dementia, children in mainstream schools, refugees and local community groups.
