Sheffield celebrates VE Day 80 A range of events and street parties are set to take place across the city to mark the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day (VE Day).

VE Day falls on Thursday 8 May, but people are being encouraged to celebrate on Bank Holiday Monday, which falls on the days before.

In Sheffield, a range of celebrations will be taking place between April and August, which is the 80th anniversary of WW2 ending across the globe.

The Council’s Library and Archives Service will be hosting a series of Wednesday evening talks and an exhibition in Central Library between May and August.

Sheffield Cathedral will also be involved in a

coordinated ringing of bells at 18:30 Thursday 8 May, along with cathedrals around England.

Councillor Kurtis Crossland, Chair of the Communities, Parks and Leisure Committee at Sheffield City Council: “The 80th anniversary of VE Day gives local communities across Sheffield the chance to come together and remember the sacrifices made during WW2.

“It’s important we continue to honour those who served in the war and their bravery.

“I am delighted Sheffield’s library services will be hosting a range of events to mark this significant year in history and encourage everyone to get involved with

the events, or even to host your own party or celebration over the Bank Holiday Weekend.”

Councillor Kurtis Crossland, Chair of the Communities, Parks and Leisure Committee at Sheffield City Council

Union voices concerns over new gaming machine proposals The CIU is urging its member clubs to have their say on the Gambling Commission’s (GC’s) proposed changes to gaming machine technical standards.

If implemented, these changes could have significant implications for the operation of gaming machines in clubs, namely an increase in costs, the need for additional training of staff and loss of revenue.

The changes could also

see reelbased analogue machines – many of which remain popular in CIU clubs – being rendered obsolete.

This is because the rules would mean that all machines will need to be updated to enable players to set monetary limits and time-outs before commencing play on the machines, in order to combat potential problem gambling.

The proposals which are being considered by the GC include a raft of

new rules including limit setting for all Category B machines, new rules on net position and elapsed time display meters on all Category B machines, safer gambling messaging, new rules on awards below the stake size and prohibiting playerled stop features all in relation to Category B machines.

Under the proposals, a player would have to input their financial limit ahead of playing

and a message would flash up on the gaming machine screen when the player reaches that predetermined limit.

The same message would then have to be relayed to a member of staff via a link to the bar or club office to inform them that a player had reached their limit.

A staff member would then be obliged to interact with that player to satisfy themselves that problem gambling is not taking place.

Union President Ken

Roberts CMD ACM added: “Gaming machines have long provided a valuable income stream for clubs and enjoyment for our members.

“While the Union remains 100 per cent committed to promoting responsible gambling in our clubs, we are concerned that these proposed changes may prove to be unworkable in a members’ club environment and could lead to a reduction in

income and an increase in costs.

“We will be taking part in the Consultation and arguing that clubs should be exempt given that there is absolutely no evidence that problem gambling on gaming machines is a significant issue in the overwhelming majority of our member clubs.”

The Consultation on the changes in technical standards runs until May 20.

News, Information and Advice

big birley project The Birley Academy – based in Sheffield and part of L.E.A.D. Academy Trust – has begun an exciting new student-led initiative aiming to transform outdoor spaces on the school grounds into welcoming, nature-rich environments.

Coordinated by Sarah Husband, The Birley Academy’s Deputy Headteacher for SEND and Inclusion, the project provides students with the opportunity to explore the benefits of outdoor learning. Recognising the importance of nature in promoting well-being, self-regulation and building social skills, the academy is working with students to develop a variety of green spaces.

The initiative includes plans for sensory gardens, vegetable patches, wildlife habitats and even a sunflower race along the school fence to bring vibrancy and fun to the outdoor areas.

The first batch of tomato plants grown by students is nearly ready for sale, with proceeds going towards funding the project. Over time, the goal is to raise enough money to purchase a potting shed and additional gardening resources.

Community support has been vital to the success of the initiative.

Local residents have generously donated items such as tyres (to be used as planters), pallets (for trellises and features), seeds, plant pots and gardening tools. Compost has also been generously donated by Renishaw Hall and Gardens.

The academy is now seeking donations of soil to continue the next phase of planting and development.

Students across all year groups are actively involved in the project, using the experience to learn about plant life cycles, develop teamwork skills and gain a sense of achievement through hands-on gardening activities. The initiative is also being embedded into the academy’s internal Alternative Provision curriculum (The Pegasus Learning Centre). The plan is to allow students to work towards AQA Unit Awards and gain certificates of achievement. Looking ahead, The Birley

Academy is exploring partnerships with the neighbouring medical centre, where students have been invited to help clear and replant a small garden plot. Other future plans include crafting wind chimes during craft social events in the summer term and growing herbs and vegetables to be used in Design and Technology lessons.

Sarah Husband of The Birley Academy, said: “This is something I’ve always wanted to do, based on my training around trauma-informed approaches. I’ve seen first-hand how alternative learning environments can make a real difference in students’ confidence, engagement, and well-being. We have such a fantastic space here at The Birley Academy, and I wanted to explore how we could make even better use of it – especially for those students who may struggle in a traditional classroom setting. This initiative allows them to see the potential of their environment, take ownership, and develop skills that will support them beyond school. It’s a great opportunity to foster resilience, teamwork and a real sense of achievement. We want our students to lead the way in shaping a greener, more inviting school environment that benefits everyone.” Victoria Hall, Headteacher at Birley Academy, expressed her enthusiasm for the initiative, saying: “It’s fantastic to see this project come to life and to witness the passion and dedication from both staff and students.

At The Birley Academy, we are committed to helping our students develop and achieve their full potential, not just academically, but in all aspects of life. Providing opportunities like this, where they can engage with nature, learn practical skills and gain a sense of accomplishment, is incredibly valuable. I look forward to seeing the transformation of our outdoor spaces and the positive impact this will have on our school community.”

Sheffield Man To Run Hillsborough Voices: London Marathon for Final Book Launch A celebration of National Lottery Awards Hillsborough’s living for All, the group has Mother-In-Law history takes place Paul Hartley, from Hillsborough in Sheffield, will be pounding the 26.2 miles around London on April 27, to help raise funds for blood cancer charity, Leukaemia Care, a cause very close to his family.

His mother-in-law Jude McHale, from Measham in Leicestershire, was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML) in 2014, and while she’s in much better health than she ever thought she would be, it has had a lasting effect on her physically, and mentally.

Despite the setbacks, Jude has become heavily involved in Leukaemia Care, and even volunteers as a “buddy”, providing one-to-one support for other leukaemia patients facing the same outlook as Jude did, and helping with things such as providing a friendly voice to chat things over with, to signposting support and medical services.

General sales manager Paul, 44, said: “Jude’s diagnosis was a devastating blow to her and the rest of the family.

However, despite all of this she’s battled through it all with a positive attitude and a smile on her face.

“Whilst thinking of ways to fundraise, she asked me if I’d run both the 2024 Great North Run and 2025 London Marathon. I obviously said yes, thinking what a great way it would be for me to give something back and do my bit. As a charity, Leukaemia Care has helped her and now she’s helping others, so it’s a fantastic opportunity for me to help with some fundraising.”

Nearly 10,000 people are diagnosed with leukaemia every year in the UK, that’s 27 people every day. Leukaemia Care exists to support

patients and families through diagnosis, treatment and beyond.

Colin Dyer, CEO for Leukaemia Care, said: “Paul, and the thousands of runners like him put in a colossal effort just to reach the start line and we commend each and every one of them.

“Everyone has a story where they, or someone very close to them, have been affected by setbacks and challenges. At Leukaemia care we work tirelessly to help improve diagnosis and detection, and support those impacted by leukaemia.

“To do that, we need people like Paul who selflessly face this challenge head on and raise vital funds to enable us to be there for the people who need us the most.”

This will be Paul’s fourth marathon, but his first time running London. In a bid to help boost his fundraising efforts, and to reach his target of £3,000, Paul’s work colleagues and marketing team have supported him, while Jude organised a ‘bubbles and bingo’ event.

He added: “It will be a massive sense of achievement following the hundreds of miles of training and the efforts gone into the fundraising.

I reckon there’s a good chance of some tears from me.

“I’m really looking forward to it. I enjoy the excitement of a race and think it will be one of the most memorable experiences of my life.

No doubt we’ll celebrate with a huge roast beef sunday dinner and a bottle of red wine, or two.”

later this month as the Hillsborough and Owlerton Local History Group launch their third and final book.

The publication of Hillsborough Voices marks the end of their National Lottery Heritage Fundsupported project dedicated to preserving the social history of the S6 area.

The drop-in event will be held from 1pm to 5pm on Wednesday, April 16th, at the Bradbury Makers Shed in Hillsborough Park – a welcoming space next to the Walled Garden, best accessed via the Middlewood Road entrance opposite the Brass Monkey pub.

Hillsborough Voices is a collection of memories and reflections gathered from across the community. The book features contributions from members of the Me & Thee Group at St John’s, the Friday Lunch Club at Hillsborough Trinity, and the Age UK Wellbeing Project at Hillsborough Pavilion.

The project also partnered with pupils and staff at Hillsborough Primary School, bringing together voices from every generation.

Thanks to funding from

spent the last year collecting and curating real-life stories that shine a light on Hillsborough’s social heritage – from everyday moments to long-forgotten local traditions.

Val Linnett, who led the story-gathering, said: “It’s been a real privilege to hear people’s memories and help bring them together in Hillsborough Voices.

These stories are warm, funny, moving – and often surprising. You realise just how much local history lives in everyday conversations.

We hope this book does justice to the people who shared their lives with us.”

All contributors, supporters, and members of the public with an interest in Hillsborough’s past are invited to attend the free event which offers: A chance to meet the people behind the project Free refreshments The opportunity to collect a copy of Hillsborough Voices (suggested donation £2) No booking is required – simply drop in any time between 1pm and 5pm.

are you registered to vote?

With only one week left to register to vote for the local elections in England, the Electoral Commission is reminding voters that they must be registered to ensure their voice is heard on 1 May. The deadline to register is 11.59pm on Friday 11 April.

Registering takes five minutes and can be done online at gov.uk/ register-to-vote. Voters need their name, address and national insurance number.

A person can register if they are aged 18 or over on polling day, a British citizen resident in the UK, or an Irish, EU or qualifying Commonwealth citizen resident in the UK. Around 13 million people are estimated to be eligible to vote at this year’s May elections. Yet according to the latest research as many as 14% of people across England are either incorrectly registered or missing from the register entirely.

Jackie Killeen, Director of

Electoral Administration and Regulation at the Electoral Commission, said: “Only people registered to vote can have their say at the May elections on issues important to their local areas.

It’s also important that voters remember to bring their photo ID to polling stations. Anyone that does not have an accepted form can apply for free voter ID until 23 April.”

Commission research shows that young people, students and those who have recently moved are less likely to be registered.

Almost 470,000 applications to register have already been made in England since 17 February when the Commission’s voter registration campaign began.

Anyone previously on the register who has recently moved home or whose details have changed will need to register to vote again.

John Cooper Clarke Tops Latest Tramlines Announcement of fresh artists As Tramlines returns to Hillsborough Park from 25–27 July 2025, a fresh wave of artists has been announced to join headliners Pulp, The Reytons and Kasabian.

With Friday curated by Pulp, the new additions include poetic punk icon John Cooper Clarke—whose long standing affinity with Sheffield includes a poem dedicated to the city and past collaborations with the likes of Arctic Monkeys and The Fall. Cult indie newcomers Spanish Horses and Ed Cosens, founding member of Reverend and the Makers and a sharp songwriter in his own right.

Also added to the line-up are Apply to Play winners Magnolia and Molly and the Dolly Shop, selected by the Tramlines team, with Marples (public vote), Jetski (BBC Introducing Sheffield), and Ellie

Evans (Pirate.com) bringing local talent to the fore. The bill continues to expand with The Second World War and Beguiling Junior.

Pattern + Push takes over Saturday with a line-up that reflects the platform’s mission to empower young rappers, singers and producers to push boundaries through positive music. Their stage features Big Ang, Prido, Kaesu & Alex FB, Leo Miyagee, Nørskov, Lavelle, Kid Blu3, Josie Wray, Namywa and Kali, with DJ Kyla C behind the decks and JXK hosting.

Pattern + Push delivers high-quality programmes that include vocal and production coaching, industry masterclasses, studio sessions and live performance opportunities.

Their return to Tramlines reflects the festival’s ongoing commitment to supporting emerging talent and building pathways into the industry

from the ground up.

Slambarz is back for 2025, bringing the energy of Sheffield’s grassroots hip-hop and spoken word scene to the Speakers Corner stage across all three days. Expect high-impact performances from artists like Just Jase, Tinxshe, RF, Reeko, Mitchelxonly1, KO, Kie 5, CNC, GSD, Tlarnaa, Geerai, Lex Fym, Indii and Fuego. With Slambarz regulars DJ Dylor and DJ Law on the controls and a programme that spans live rap, dance, and DJ culture, this is where raw talent meets real community.

The Apply to Play scheme once again showcases the very best of emerging UK talent, selected by tastemakers and industry heads including Amazing Radio, Exposed Magazine, The Rock Revival, The Sarah Nulty Power of Music Foundation, and WaterBear.

This year’s standout acts include The Rolling People (The Rock Revival), Fear of Marko (Exposed), Montello (This Feeling), Flat Moon (WaterBear), Sacha T (The Sarah Nulty Power of Music Foundation), Freddy Forbidden (Amazing Radio), and the overall winner Long Island—handpicked by legendary broadcaster and new music champion John Kennedy. These names join a legacy that includes past winners like Rumbi Tauro, whose rise through the ranks has become a defining success story for the initiative.

Also confirmed today is Queer Cxntry, an unmissable LGBTQIA+ club night fusing country music and queer joy. This is rhinestones and resistance in equal measure—a celebration of individuality and inclusivity with a two-step twist.

It lands in Hillsborough Park as

part of a broader line-up of club takeovers, including Karaoke, Feminém, Hip Hop Karaoke, and The Leadmill’s themed nights: XCX World, Club Tropicana and Taylor’s Version.

Sunday’s new additions include Hannah Rowe, Cowz, Mackenzie, April Tapes, Long Island, Flat Moon, Montello, Sacha T and Freddy Forbidden, alongside festival favourites like Buffo’s Wake and Oktoberfest Band, offering up a riotous finale to the weekend.

These join previously announced acts such as Franz Ferdinand, Spiritualized, Hot Chip (DJ Set), The Last Dinner Party, Sigrid, CMAT and Everly Pregnant Brothers, making for a weekend that moves seamlessly between cult classics, future icons and the best of what Sheffield’s scene has to offer.

Applications for The Tramlines

Trust are now open once again.

With grants of up to £500 available for local community, youth, arts, and environmental projects, the Trust continues to build on a strong legacy. Since 2022, The Tramlines Trust has awarded over £90,000 worth of funding grants to local organisations. Over 50% of total funding was awarded directly to Hillsborough-based initiatives in 2024. For those doing meaningful work in Sheffield and beyond, this is the time to apply.

Just a handful of Sunday Day Tickets remain before the final tier is released in the next two weeks.

With 98% of all festival tickets already sold, fans are encouraged not to hang about. For tickets, full line-up details, and information on Tramlines Trust applications, visit www.tramlines.org.uk.

“Freddie was an original. He and Queen were the best. But now, in this new century, Joseph, Glenn & Mercury are the next best thing” Freddie’s Mum, Jer Bulsara, 2010 Joseph says: “We are delighted that Freddie’s family see us as an authentic Queen tribute.”

NARROW DEFEAT DISAPPOINTMENT FOR BLADES

United slipped to a disappointing defeat on the road last weekend.

Sirki Dembele settled a scrappy contest in the hosts favour just before half-time, as United suffered a first away loss since New Year’s Day. On his return to the Kassam Stadium, Wilder named an unchanged

starting XI to face the U’s, although Souza returned from injury amongst the substitutes and replaced Brooks on the bench.

The first half would turn out to be a pretty even, but scrappy affair, with both teams having opportunities. Helik saw a back post header saved by Cooper from a

Dembele corner, before Burrows was denied by Cumming at the other end at the near post after being freed by Hamer.

Vaulks then had a volley comfortable gathered

by Cooper, but back at the other end, only the excellence of Cumming kept out Campbell’s angled drive.

But on 38 minutes, it was the home side that took the lead. A long throw from Vaulks was properly cleared and from closerange, DEMBELE kept his composure to slot past the advancing Cooper.

In response, before the interval, Peck found space in the penalty area, but again Cumming

wasn’t for beating at his near post.

United made a double change as the hour mark approached with Souza and Rak-Sakyi introduced from the bench and after Ahmedhodžić was cautioned for a foul on Placheta, only a last-ditch tackle from

Brown denied Burrows in the penalty area as the Blades swiftly repelled a possible counter from the host. Moore replaced Campbell and on 70 minutes Peck’s effort on the run almost nestled the right side of the post with Cumming scrambling across his line, prior to O’Hare and

Cannon being throw on as Wilder made his final two changes, but fighting for the lives at the wrong end of the table, the hosts defended resiliently to continually frustrate the visitors. Six minutes of added time were signalled and the ball just wouldn’t fall kindly for Rak-Sakyi at the back

post from a Robinson long throw, before Cannon saw a goal bound effort blocked by a combination of Brown and Bennett and Rak-Sakyi again involved couldn’t make a clean connection as United’s impressive away record took a rare knock in Oxfordshire.

The Sheffield and Hallamshire County Football Association is pleased to announce the sale of its headquarters, Clegg House on Meadowhall Road in Sheffield.

This strategic decision

will unlock vital funds to reinvest in grassroots football, paving the way for the development of a state-of-the-art football facility designed to benefit the entire community.

The proceeds from the sale, combined with a portion of their reserves, will contribute to the creation of a purposebuilt Sheffield and Hallamshire County FA football facility — a long-term vision of the

County FA to better serve players, coaches, match officials and everybody else involved in the game.

In the near future, they plan to relocate to the Steel City Stadium at Sheffield Olympic Legacy Park, joining other sporting governing bodies and organisations in an exceptional environment where innovation in sport, health and wellbeing can thrive.

Reflecting on this important milestone, Chair of Sheffield & Hallamshire County FA, Brian Coddington, said: “This is a significant step in our long-term vision to develop a state-of-the-art football facility. Not only will it serve as the home of football for the oldest County FA in the country, but it will also become a welcoming community hub, accessible to everyone involved in the game.”

“We felt it was going to be a difficult game.

Michael [Flynn] has got a really good team here and I like the way his teams play so we knew it would be tough.

“They could just play freely, to impress the manager or the lads out of contract can push for a new one. You could sense

that before the game - a freedom about them.

“I was a wee bit worried about the game but it was a professional performance, three points and we can move on.”

After victory over Carlisle United and a battling draw against fellow promotion-chasers Walsall, McCann was content with the points haul from a tricky week.

“Seven points in a week - it’s a good return,” he said.

“I think given the stage of the season, then I’m pleased with that.

“It’s been a difficult week for us because we faced a Carlisle team that is scrapping for every point, which was tough. We were playing against a

Walsall team fighting at the top and then a Cheltenham team who could play with freedom.

“It’s a good return and we move on to the next one.”

Joe Rafferty’s 90thminute goal handed Matt Hamshaw a second victory in charge of the Millers following Steve Evans’ dismissal.

With no real threat of relegation or prospect of a play-off place, Cheltenham’s campaign is largely decided in competitive terms.

Sterry and Rob Street saw Rovers overcome Cheltenham for an important three points in the race for automatic promotion.

“All in all, I feel it’s a big win,” McCann said.
