In the wake of the referendum result there has been a lot of anger. Some members of our society feel unwelcome and unwanted and we want to combat that with a show of unity and love.

So we are having a 'love-in'!

There will be face paints, free lollies, balloons and hugs! We will have a love jar into which people can put messages of positivity. Most importantly of all there will be love!

This will happen at the Lord Mayor's Parade on 9th July where we will take part in the parade, followed by our own event in the town centre.

Any funds which we don't use for the event itself will be donated to some of the many charities supporting to isolated and vulnerable in our town.

Let's show the world what Barnsley is really about!

As a thank you to all who donate, a balloon will be given bearing your name and personal message to someone attending on the day. Just add your message on the donation page.

Thank you for your generosity so far.
