For generations of South Yorkshire men and women, the border between Sheffield and Rotherham has been a place of industry, community, and hard graft.
Where once coal was pulled from the ground to power our economy, now that economy is powered by advances in manufacturing, engineering and aerospace. Indeed, more people now work at the Advanced Manufacturing Park, on the site of the former Orgreave colliery, than they did in the pit during coal’s heyday.

Wednesday, 10 October is World Mental Health Day.
For more than 25 years, this annual event has helped to educate people about mental health, raising awareness of the barriers many with mental health issues experience, and working to break down prejudices which, sadly, still persist.
As a society, we’ve come a long way since the first World Mental Health Day in 1992. Employers are now prevented from requiring applicants to disclose their mental health history when applying for a job. And the law now states that mental health should be treated on an equal footing with physical health.
