OWLS ICON LEADS RACE FOR CANCER CHARITY
Footballing legend
Carlton Palmer and his wife Lucy know a thing or two about the hills of Sheffield.
Between them, they’ve spent countless hours running in the Peak District, training for charity races which have raised thousands for important local causes.
Carlton and Lucy were long-time supporters of Cavendish Cancer Care –which merged with Weston Park Cancer Charity in February 2025.
Now, they’re taking on the Sheffield 10k in support of our ‘see it. treat it.’ appeal – which aims to raise £1.85 million for an MRI simulator. This powerful piece of equipment produces high-definition images that allow for more targeted treatment of
cancer.
“The earlier cancer is detected and the more accurately it is treated, the greater the chance people have of surviving,” said Carlton. “So, it’s important that we do what we can to bring this new piece of technology to the hospital.”
Funds raised by Carlton and Lucy’s 10k will be match-funded by Westfield Health, meaning every donation will make double the impact.
Carlton, who played for Sheffield Wednesday, West Brom, and Leeds United, is a keen runner who has previously completed the London Marathon.
“Lucy and I run a lot together,” said Carlton.
“We like keeping fit and it’s so easy to get out into the countryside when you live
in Sheffield. We often head out towards Owler Bar or we’ll drive to Longshaw and run around the trails there.”
“Carlton’s really good and he’ll run at my pace,” said Lucy. “But when he runs by himself, he kicks on!”
While the couple enjoy running together, they’ll be taking two very different approaches come race day.
“My friend Jamie and I are going for sub 50 minutes,” said Carlton. “So, we’ll be running on ahead.”
“Whereas I’ve recruited a group of girlfriends who wouldn’t necessarily describe themselves as runners,” said Lucy. “We started our training with walking and have gradually built up. We’ll be running the 10k as a team and sticking together.”
“The previous running
events we’ve done in Sheffield have been amazing,” Lucy continued. “I’ve been wowed at the level of community support and all the people who come out to cheer you on.”
“It’s always great to see so many people giving up their time to help others,” said Carlton.
“There’s a real feel-good factor,” said Lucy. “Running is so good for you in terms of mental health and the positive endorphins it releases. But when you’re running for a charity like Weston Park, you feel even better – because you know what you’re doing will help someone in need.”
Phoebe Marriott, Events Officer at Weston Park Cancer Charity, said: “We are so grateful to Carlton and Lucy for
supporting our ‘see it. treat it.’ appeal, which will bring Sheffield its first-ever dedicated MRI simulator.”
“This cutting-edge piece of equipment produces high-contrast images that allow for more precise treatments. By enabling more accurate targeting of tumours, the simulator is expected to boost survival rates and reduce side effects, enhancing quality of life during and after care.
“We can’t wait to cheer on Team Palmer and all of our fantastic runners at the Sheffield 10k this September!”

10CC AND ANOTHER BLOODY GREATEST HITS TOUR
one of the UK’s most innovative and influential bands, 10cc have announced their return to the UK concert scene in 2026 with the typically tongue-in-cheek
‘And Another Bloody Greatest Hits Tour’ — celebrating a genredefying repertoire that continues to captivate audiences across the world.
Kicking-off in March, the 22-date tour will hit major cities nationwide, including here in
Sheffield on Wednesday 18th March 2026.
Fronted by co-founder Graham Gouldman, 10cc have undergone a remarkable renaissance in recent years, evolving from cult status into a mainstream concert draw that sells-out top venues from Stockholm to San Francisco and Amsterdam to Auckland and Sydney.
Expect a hit-packed setlist including eradefining anthems like ‘Rubber Bullets’, ‘Donna’, ‘Art for Art’s
Sake’, ‘Dreadlock Holiday’, and, of course, the eternal ‘I’m Not In Love’ — recently revisited by Gouldman and fellow co-founder Kevin Godley in a moving BBC Radio 2 Piano Room session, accompanied by the BBC Concert Orchestra to mark the 50th anniversary of their classic album ‘The Original Soundtrack’.

rspca summer campaign charity family fun day
Candlelighters, the Yorkshire-based children’s cancer charity, recently hosted its annual Family Fun Day at Bramhope Scout Campsite and Activity Centre.
This event provided a much-needed day of fun and relaxation for children from across Yorkshire, diagnosed with cancer, and their families. Those at the event included on-treatment patients and their families, post-treatment patients and their families, and bereaved families.
The fun day was packed with exciting activities. Families enjoyed bouncing on inflatables, taking part in classic races including the egg and spoon, sack race, and parents’ races, as well as testing their skills with games like tin can alley and a bean bag throw. Entertainment was provided by face painters, a balloon modeller, and a magician, while children got creative at the crafts station. Visitors also enjoyed delicious treats from the pizza van and ice cream man, alongside plenty of snacks, and the popular tombola offered exciting prizes. Lori Reed, a community support worker for Candlelighters, who was part of the event team, emphasised the significance of the day. “The Family Fun Day is a wonderful chance for families to come together for a relaxed day where they can truly unwind,” Lori explained. “Watching them make memories and spend quality time in a comfortable, supportive environment is what it’s all about. It was clear how much the day meant to them, and we’re incredibly grateful to the volunteers who ensured everything ran smoothly - we couldn’t have done it without them.”
The impact of the event was clear in the feedback from families who enjoyed the event. One parent shared: “We had an amazing day at the Candlelighters family fun day. It was really nice to meet and catch up with families we have met along the way. Candlelighters bring light to families’ darkest days and for that we thank you.”
Candlelighters is a Yorkshire-based charity that has been a beacon of hope for almost 50 years, supporting children diagnosed with cancer and their families. In addition to
their vital presence in the Children and Teenage Haematology and Oncology unit at Leeds Children’s Hospital, the charity offers emotional and practical support at their Family Support Centre in Leeds.
They also play a crucial role in funding vital research into children’s cancer and its long-term impact. The annual Family Fun Day is just one of many events in their busy calendar dedicated to supporting families across the Yorkshire region.
Each year, around 150 children in Yorkshire are diagnosed with cancer. When a child is diagnosed, lives are turned upside down instantly for the whole family. Candlelighters offers family support in many forms, from practical financial help for families and funded holidays, to talking therapies, wellbeing treatments and support groups for siblings.

Animal beatings are sadly on the rise with one report of animal abuse made every 15 minutes the call line is open according to new figures released by the RSPCA.
In South Yorkshire, there has been a huge 158% rise in reports of beatings during the summer months from 2020 to 2024 (53 vs 137) and 514 reports in total meaning the county has the sixth highest figures for England and Wales. Across England and Wales, there has been a 105% rise in reports of beatings in summer over the last four years (1,613 for July/August 2020 to 3,304 in July/August 2024) with four beatings reported every hour or one every 15 minutes the call line is open. Year on year the number of beating reports has risen by 10% and the charity is braced for this to continue to climb this summer.
Ian Briggs, Head of SOU at the RSPCA, said: “These are really distressing and stark figures. One report of an animal being beaten every half an hour is a horrible thought, but sadly this is the reality in summer when our cruelty line receives a beating report every 30 minutes. It isn’t clear why there has been such a dramatic increase in abuse against animals, but what is clear is that animals are suffering at the hands of people on a much bigger scale than many people realise. This is why our Summer Cruelty Campaign is so important to highlight that for thousands of animals, summer is a season of pain and suffering when cruelty peaks. As the RSPCA braces to help tackle animal cruelty, we need your help now more than ever to continue to rescue animals in desperate need of care.”
Ian added: “We’re finding
that CCTV footage, doorbell cameras and smartphones are providing a view into society that we never had before, meaning that animal beatings are more likely to be caught on camera in supermarket car parks, on streets, in lifts, and even behind closed doors in the home - giving us the evidence we need to be able to seek justice for animals like Bella.
This could account for the rise that we are seeing as these awful abusers are more likely to be caught on camera, uploaded to social media or reported directly to us.”
Sadly, dogs were the most likely pet to be beaten with nearly 21,000 dog beating reports made to the charity last year alone with bulldog breeds the most likely to be abused (6,670 reports from 2022-2024) and Staffies (4,786) compared to just 22 reports for Old English Sheepdogs or 58 for West Highland Terriers.
In June, July and August last year the RSPCA took 34,401* cruelty calls to their emergency linecompared to 25,887* the year before - up by A THIRD.
On average it took 374 reports of cruelty against animals every single day during this period or one call EVERY two minutes the line was open. Summer should be a season of joy for animals. Long walks on golden evenings. Zoomies on the beach. Stretching out in the garden to soak up the sun. But there’s a side to summer you don’t see. For thousands of animals, it’s a season of pain, fear and suffering, when cruelty peaks. Support the RSPCA’s Summer Cruelty Appeal at: rspca.org.uk/ endcruelty
girl (8) tackles snowdon
An eight-year-old has her head back out of the clouds after tackling Wales’ highest peak for charity.
Isabelle Lauder and her dad Tom walked – and in places, climbed – the 3,560ft Mount Snowdon, and have so far raised almost £700 for Sheffieldbased national charity, Support Dogs. The good cause trains and provides specialist assistance dogs to help autistic children, as well as adults affected by epilepsy or physical disability, to live safer, more independent lives. The Lauders, who live in Wombwell, Barnsley, have been volunteer doggy foster carers for Support Dogs since 2022, looking after the wonderdogs when they are not ‘at school’ at the charity’s training centre.
Kings Oak Primary School pupil Isabelle turned eight on July 30, celebrating with her family with a theatre trip to see Wicked in London, and two days later she scaled Snowdon.
Isabelle’s mum, Fran, 38, who works for South Yorkshire Police and is also mum to 10-yearold Oliver, said: “It took five hours to get up – it was quite a tough route, called Crib Goch, and involved some physical climbing, rather than just walking. They took a much easier route down. They had set off at 7am and it was pretty dry and not too hot – they couldn’t have asked for better weather and they took lots and lots of sweets. It was pretty windy at the top.” She
added: “I’m very proud of her, and she didn’t even seem to have any kind of aches or niggles the day after. A typical eight-yearold, she bounced straight back.”
Isabelle said: “It was hard. I would do it again but not Crib Goch. The hardest part was all the steps going up, and then a path with more steps. My dad joked that I was close to breaking down.” She added that her motivation was a certificate for completing Snowdon, as well as for taking part in Support Dogs’ Super Summer Challenge, which encourages its young supporters to take on a fundraising challenge during the six weeks’ holidays.
The family have looked after loveable Labs Spot, Buster and Peggy, who are now fully-qualified autism assistance dogs, Frank, who has been matched with a little girl on the charity’s autism assistance programme and Stardust, nicknamed ‘Dusty’, who is still in training.
Tom, a 41-year-old operations manager, has previously taken part in Support Dogs’ annual abseil and also paddleboarded the 23-mile length of Loch Ness for the charity.

staying safe in the heat
With more hot weather forecast, health leaders are urging people to take simple steps to stay safe in the heat.
Dr Sohail Abbas, Deputy Medical Director and local GP, is warning that high temperatures can pose serious health risks - particularly for older people, young children and those with existing health conditions.
“Drinking water and staying hydrated is one of the best things you can do to keep well in hot weather,” said Dr Abbas. He added: “Avoid the sun between 11am and 3pm, when it’s at its hottest. If you do need to go out, stick to the shade, use sun cream, wear sunglasses and wear light coloured, loose clothing.” People are also being urged to look out for vulnerable neighbours and relatives, and are reminded to never leave babies, children, or animals in parked vehicles. “If you do feel unwell make sure you access the right care in the right place,” said Dr Abbas. “If you’re unsure what to do, contact NHS 111 online at 111.nhs. uk or by phone - they’re open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.”

£270K BOOST TO BREATHE NEW LIFE INTO ROTHERHAm HIGH STREETS
Shops on high streets across the borough have the opportunity to benefit from a makeover thanks to a £270,000 investment secured by Rotherham Council.
As part of its commitment to breathe new life into Rotherham’s high streets and create thriving neighbourhoods, the Council has launched the Shop Unit Business Grant Project, funded through the government’s UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF), with support from the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA).
The grant aims to help high street businesses in the town centre, Dinnington, Maltby, Swinton and WathUpon-Dearne enhance their premises by funding improvements that will contribute to their overall look, feel and vibrancy. Eligible businesses can apply for grants of up to £25,000 to improve the look and feel of their shop units. Improvements could include new shopfronts, signage, flooring, lighting and other refurbishments that will enhance the attractiveness of local high streets.
Businesses are being encouraged to act quickly, with grants awarded on a first come, first served basis until
the full allocation is spent. Applications are open until 30 October 2025, with all projects set to be completed by the end of December 2025.
Cllr John Williams, Cabinet Member for Transport, Jobs and the Local Economy said: “We’re committed to forging ahead and breathing new life into our high streets across the borough.
“This funding represents an opportunity to support the local businesses at the heart of our communities. By investing in the look and feel of shops located in our town centres, we’re helping to create more vibrant, welcoming spaces for residents, shoppers and visitors alike. I’d encourage all eligible businesses to apply early and make the most of this support.”
Businesses interested should contact businessgrants@ rotherham.gov.uk
The Shop Unit Business Grant Project is the latest example of how Rotherham Council’s commitment to revitalising Rotherham’s towns and villages.
The £4 million Our Places Fund will be delivered between January 2025 and March 2026, focusing on improvement projects to key gateways into principal towns and villages. News on the
projects the investment will support, will be released over the coming months.
Elsewhere, £20m secured from the government’s Pathfinder funding will be used towards the redevelopment of Dinnington, which will feature high-quality public spaces and landscaping to promote a healthy, sustainable town.
The £20m funding will also be used in Wath, with plans to build new commercial space to support a diverse mix of small businesses, enhance green spaces, and create a new library, providing a modern and inclusive community facility. It follows ongoing investment
in Rotherham town centre which has seen the delivery of the £47m leisure hub Forge Island, which has welcomed restaurants Vetro Lounge and Sygnature dish so far this year, complementing Arc Cinema and Travelodge, with work also underway on major public realm regeneration project Riverside Gardens. The investment across Rotherham’s high streets will be complemented by the introduction of a new ‘Street Safe Team’ focused on increasing safety in town and village centres, as well as a new team dedicated to roadside cleansing, with a focus on popular routes and key gateways.
Official Government figures have revealed that more than 200 pubs have closed across the UK in the first half of 2025, with closures accelerating amid mounting tax burdens and cost pressures on the sector.
CAMRA’s own figures, which show 137 pubs lost in the first six months of the year, and 149 already gone in total this year, are broadly in line with the Government’s, underlining the scale of the crisis facing the industry.
CAMRA Chairman Ash
Corbett-Collins said: “These latest figures are yet more proof that pubs are being pushed to the brink by unfair and unsustainable tax burdens. We warned earlier this year that rising Employer National Insurance Contributions, alongside a cut in business rates relief, would hit pubs hard, and sadly we are now seeing those warnings borne out in closures on a devastating scale. Every pub that shuts its doors is a blow to jobs, communities and our cultural heritage.”
“What makes this even more devastating is that so many of them are not just shutting their doors temporarily but being demolished or converted to other uses. CAMRA has consistently called for stronger planning protections to stop our locals being wiped out overnight. Pubs are more than just businesses; they are community lifelines. Without action in the Autumn Budget, figures like this will be just the tip of the iceberg.”
DART TO DONCASTER FOR BEER AND BRATWURST …
A TWO-day celebration aimed at darts fans and lovers of all things Bavarian is set to take place at Doncaster this autumn (October). The team behind some of the UK’s biggest themed festivals and fan experiences is bringing its acclaimed Oktoberfest and Flight Night events to Doncaster Racecourse in October – and tickets are now on sale.
On Friday 10 October, Flight Night 2025 will bring together pro darts players, local legends and wildcard warriors – all competing for glory and a £1000 cash prize.
And the following day, Saturday 11 October, the Racecourse will be transformed into a traditional Bavarian beer hall for an evening of overflowing beer steins, bratwurst, currywurst, pretzels and some of the best live Oompah bands from across Europe.
Among the top names taking part in Flight Night are Glen “Duzza” Durrant, Adam “The Hunter” Hunt, Neil “Duff Man Duff and Keegan “The Needle” Brown.
There will also be appearances from wildcard and amateur contenders Morgan Shillito, Jack Shields, Tom Sykes and Brandon Walsh.
And, because fancy dress has become a key fan element of the darts scene, there will be competitions with cash prizes, mass singalongs and crowd chants, DJs, live stage games and a full bar and street food. Tickets for both events are now on sale with early bird deals for Oktoberfest – which takes place from 6pm to 11pm, priced at just £15 plus booking fee per person.

Rubén Sellés was left ‘disappointed’ following Saturday’s home loss to Millwall at Bramall Lane.
Speaking in the immediate aftermath of the home reversal, Sellés remarked:
“I’m disappointed, we started with the intention to make a good performance in front of our own fans.
“The first five or ten minutes we were on it, then we started to go into a mode that is not the identity of how we

Following the addition of defensive reinforcements, Sheffield United have allowed Rhys Norrington-Davies to depart on loan. The Wales international has joined Sky Bet Championship rivals Queens Park Rangers with immediate effect. The versatile defender, who has featured once this term, is set to remain in the capital for the remainder of the current campaign.

“From half-time onwards, we were on top of the game and tried how very best and in the second half we were the team we want to be like, creating situations, but this is football and it isn’t going to be easy to turn the situation, but we must stick together and work hard and find a moment to change the dynamic.”

Owen Bailey may be happy to play whatever role asked of him by manager Grant McCann but admits he feels he produces his best in the heart of midfield.
The versatile Rovers skipper has already featured at centre half and full back this term but netted his third goal in five matches from midfield, complete with a trademark late arrival in the box to fire home.
“I’ve played most positions on the pitch and I’m happy to do my job anywhere,” Bailey said. “But I feel like it’s probably where I’m best, in midfield, crashing into the box and getting on the end of things.
“Luckily in the last few weeks I’ve managed to pop up with some

“The team showed in the second half; we are capable of doing things and we are going to continue working hard and putting things in place.”

“Hopefully I can continue to get on the scoresheet and impact the game in both boxes because I feel like it’s where I’m probably best.
“It was a great pick-out by Glenn [Middleton] and luckily the ball hit the back of the net and i’s the goal that’s made the difference. It’s something I’ve worked on quite a lot - just getting into the box.”

Henrik Pedersen was proud of his players after the Owls came from 2-0 down to earn a welldeserved point against Wrexham in North Wales.
Kieffer Moore netted twice for the hosts in the first half, but Wednesday were resilient and fought back with goals from Barry Bannan and Bailey Cadamarteri.
The Owls boss said his side were more than deserving of their first point of the season: “I’m
physically so we’re really fit,” he said. “I personally feel like I can get in the box all the time. There was no doubt in my mind about getting into the box and then you’re just hoping the ball falls to you.
“This has been a tough period with Saturday, Tuesday, Saturday and three league games on the bounce. The squad has been rotated little bits and bobs but among that there’s been lads who’ve been needed for the full games.
“It shows the condition that we’re in with the lads still sprinting back in and sprinting forward right to the very death.
“The squad is in a great place and long may it continue.”

“I think we had a really good beginning to the game until we conceded the first goal.
“I think we came back for three, four, five minutes but then we struggled for 10 minutes and they scored the second goal.

Ronnie Moore has been officially crowned Rotherham United’s Greatest Ever Manager, as part of their Centenary Celebration Dinner.
Moore’s place in the club’s folklore is undisputed. Taking charge in 1997, he masterminded one of the most memorable eras in the Millers history with his right-hand man John Breckin, guiding
courage needed in the second half, and it was a brilliant performance from the boys.
“If we take the first half, we had chances, it was still an equal game but they had the ball a little bit more.
“But second half we had nearly 60% possession and many more shots and chances.
“So, I think it was more than deserved and if there was a winner today it should have been us.”
the Millers to back-toback promotions and into the Championship for the first time in nearly two decades. His teams embodied the grit, determination and unity that continue to define the club’s identity, while his achievements in the dugout remain some of the most celebrated moments of the modern era. Having also enjoyed two playing spells with Rotherham, scoring goals with the same passion that he later showed from the technical area, Ronnie’s bond with the club is deep and enduring. This recognition as Rotherham’s greatest ever manager is a fitting tribute to a man who gave so much to the Millers, both on and off the pitch. Ronnie’s
bond with the Millers spans generations. It is little wonder supporters fondly know him as ‘King Ronnie’, a nickname that speaks to the lasting affection in which he is held.
Due to ongoing health issues, Ronnie was sadly unable to be present on the night, but the award was received with a warm and heartfelt ovation from all in attendance – a testament to the esteem in which he is held by everyone connected with the club.
Rotherham United, extend their thanks to for his incredible contribution to their history, and they are delighted to celebrate his legacy as part of their continued Centenary celebrations.
ethan hoRVath CompleteS owlS loan SwitCh
The Owls have completed the loan signing of Ethan Horvath from Cardiff.
The American international goalkeeper joins Wednesday on a temporary deal that runs to January 2026. Horvath will wear squad number 24 and made his debut against Wrexham in the Championship on Saturday.
The 10-cap USA shotstopper left his native Colorado to pen his first professional contract with Norwegian side Molde in 2013.
After a four-year stint at the Aker Stadium, Horvath moved across Europe to Belgium, where he signed for Club Brugges.
The 30-year-old gained Champions League and Europa League experience with Brugges before switching to England, initially with Nottingham Forest and then on loan to Luton. Horvath was the cornerstone of the rearguard as the Hatters secured promotion to the Premier League via the play-offs in 2023. He signed for Cardiff the following year and now joins Wednesday for the next leg of his football journey.
