The Region’s Number One Entertainment & Classifieds Newspaper
South Yorkshire Police have said they are continuing to receive regular reports of people across the region falling victim to counterfeit currency scams.
In April, they received 15 reports of people making purchases using fake money. This saw victims scammed out of over £1,800.
The counterfeit notes are being used across South Yorkshire, generally at smaller shops, taxis or to pay
for sales made via online marketplaces.
Fraud Protect Officer
Nicki Robertson said:
“We are investigating these reports and are making followup enquiries where possible, to gather witness statements and look for potential CCTV opportunities.
“But while our officers carry out these checks to try and take fraudsters off the streets of South Yorkshire, it is important our communities stay vigilant and familiarise
themselves with spotting the signs of counterfeit currency.
“If you ever suspect that you have come into possession of a suspicious bank note, please call 101 and report it to us.
Receiving reports of where and how these fake notes are being used is really important in helping us stop this crime.”
Below are some of the details that have been consistently seen across the counterfeit currency used in these scams:
• The see-through window strip peels off to reveal “Prop Money”/ “For props only” written underneath
• The print quality and hologram are not as clear as legitimate notes
• There are no holographic elements within the clear windows
• There is no raised or textured lettering
• No numbers are printed on the archway part of the note
The Bank of England can teach you how to check if it’s counterfeit or genuine via their website at www. bankofengland. co.uk/banknotes/ counterfeitbanknotes/howto-check-yourbanknotes.
The site also provides a free online bank note training session, lasting about 30 minutes, for those who would like more indepth knowledge.
SOUTH YORKSHIRE SCHOOLS INVITED TO JOIN MAYOR’S WALK AND WHEEL CHALLENGE
With just a few days to go, primary schools across South Yorkshire are being reminded to sign up for the Mayor’s Walk and Wheel Challenge, encouraging children to walk, wheel, scoot or cycle to school.
The five day challenge, running from 18–22 May, aims to get children moving, cut traffic at the school gates and help families build healthier, more active routines.
Schools still have time to take part. Through a
unique South Yorkshire collaboration with Living Streets’ Walk to School Week, the first 100 schools to sign up will receive free classroom resources, including activity packs, stickers and charts to support pupils.
All participating schools will be entered into a prize draw to win bikes, scooters, a scooter pod and a cycling workshop delivered by South Yorkshire’s Active Lives Commissioner, Ed Clancy OBE.
More than 220
schools have taken part over the last two years, and over 170 schools and thousands of children across the region are joining in for 2026.
South Yorkshire’s Mayor Oliver Coppard said: “I’m committed to making South Yorkshire the best place in the country for kids to walk, wheel and cycle - and over the last two years, thousands of children from hundreds of schools have shown just what’s possible when young people are given
a chance to challenge themselves and each other.
“Schools are at the heart of our plans, because every child deserves to feel safe walking to school or playing outside.
That’s why we’re gearing up for this year’s challenge with Living Streets - giving even more children the freedom and choice to move more, move differently and grow up healthier and happier.”
The challenge encourages families to swap short car journeys for

South Yorkshire’s Active Lives Commissioner Ed Clancy OBE said:
“Every year, the Walk and Wheel Challenge shows just how much it matters to give kids the freedom to move in ways that work for them. Walking, wheeling or cycling to school helps children build confidence, independence and healthy habits that last a lifetime.
“What inspires me most is the energy young people bring to it. When we create neighbourhoods where children can travel safely and feel welcome on our streets, moving becomes easier, more fun and part of everyday life - and that’s exactly what this challenge is about.”

News, Information and Advice
walk for support dogs prem aware award
Walkers are being invited to explore the natural beauty of Sheffield – both urban and rural – while raising money to help people affected by challenging medical conditions.
Support Dogs, a national charity that was founded in the city 34 years ago, is encouraging people to take on the famous Sheffield Round Walk. The good cause trains and provides specialist assistance dogs to help autistic children, as well as those affected by epilepsy or a physical disability. Take on the walk with or without your own pooch and experience all that the local area has to offer.
Starting at Bingham Park, the 24km (14.9-mile) circular route passes through various parks, woodland, suburbs and extends to the edge of the Peak District.
For those fancying a less strenuous walk, a 5km (three-mile) route goes to Forge Dam and back.
Katie Williamson, community fundraising assistant at Support Dogs, said: “For over 30 years, Sheffield has been home to this incredible charity, providing life-saving and life-changing support. This walk aims to raise funds for our vital work in this city, but also is a chance to celebrate the wonderful countryside that surrounds us all.
We’re inviting people to get out there and enjoy the great outdoors, all while helping to fund our incredible support dogs, who give people living with various debilitating conditions back their independence. June also promises beautiful weather, so we can’t wait to don our walking boots and get going. It’ll be a real community event –with cake afterwards!”
The 5km route is perfect for families, taking walkers to the Shepherd Wheel, a working museum and former water-powered grinding workshop which played an instrumental role in the city’s cutlery industry
up until the 1930s.
Then it’s on to Whiteley Woods, where daredevils can opt for the famous stepping stones, or the less brave can stick to the path. The route goes to Forge Dam before walkers take the return route to the start.
The 24km route goes beyond Forge Dam, out to Ringinglow on the edge of the Peaks.
From there, join a trail along the Limb Brook Valley, past Whirlowbrook Hall, before crossing Ecclesall Road South, onto Ecclesall Woods, down to the halfway point at Dore and Totley railway station.
Then there’s a tough climb through Ladies Spring Wood, with spectacular views, past Beauchief Abbey and then on to Chancet Wood, Graves Park and Lees Hall Wood. Then take a quick pause at Bishop’s House in Meersbrook Park before heading across Chesterfield Road and Abbeydale Road, through Nether Edge, on to the wildlife haven of Brincliffe Edge Woods, Chelsea Park, Hunter’s Bar and then the final stretch of Endcliffe Park.
The walk takes place on Saturday, June 6, with registration from 8am, for a 9am start, with markers, checkpoints and marshals along the route.
Participants can enter as an individual, team or family, with group discounts available.
There will be a reward of cake at the end, as well as doggy goody bags for four-legged participants. Registration fees start at £5, with a fundraising target of £50 each for the full 24km route, with those who exceed their target being entered into a prize draw. There is no target for the shorter route.

Five schools in Rotherham – Abbey School, Crags Community School, Hilltop School, Kelford School and The Willows School, all part of Nexus Multi Academy Trust –have been awarded the Prem Aware Award in recognition of their work to support pupils born prematurely.
The award, developed by The Smallest Things premature baby charity, recognises schools that have taken steps to improve awareness and understanding of how premature birth can affect children’s learning and development. In an average classroom, two to three children may have been born prematurely. While not all will require additional support, research shows that children born early can face increased challenges compared to their peers.
All of the Nexus schools recognised in Rotherham support children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), encompassing a wide profile of learning disabilities and health needs, with the exception of Crags Community School, which is a mainstream primary. This makes the accreditation particularly important in ensuring staff are equipped to understand and respond to the additional challenges some pupils may face.
The Prem Aware Award encourages schools to build staff knowledge and confidence through evidence-based training. The scheme was also commended in the 2024 House of Lords Preterm Birth Inquiry Report, highlighting its importance in improving outcomes for children. Across the five Rotherham schools, staff have undertaken training to better understand the potential long-term impact of prematurity, which can include slower processing speeds, memory difficulties, attention challenges and struggles with mathematics. Schools are also strengthening communication with families, including asking parents and carers about birth history when children join, helping to ensure support can be tailored from the outset.
Bakewell are so excited to be holding the 22nd Day of Dance which will take place on Saturday 27 June, with music and dance from around the world.

A small charge will be made for these. The outdoor venues are all free! Don’t be put off if it rains as there will be an alternative wet weather programme in Bakewell Town Hall from 12.00 pm.

A team of colleagues from FCC Environment rolled up their sleeves this week to support the Keep Doncaster Tidy initiative, helping to improve the local environment and give something back to the community.
Five FCC Environment colleagues took part in the clean-up event, Naomi Smith- Internal Communication & Engagement Advisor, Ruby Cook- Graduate Management Trainee, Zoe Hayhurst- Paralegal, Harry ButterworthPayables Apprentice and Eleanor Trinh- Payables Administrator, collecting five large bags of litter from the local area during the day.
The activity formed part of a wider collaborative effort, bringing together businesses and organisations committed to making Doncaster a cleaner, more pleasant place to live and work. The event, organised by Doncaster Chamber, encourages local employers to take practical action while strengthening partnerships across the region.
Volunteers were provided with equipment and support before heading out to target areas in need of attention.
By taking part, FCC Environment colleagues demonstrated the company’s ongoing commitment to environmental responsibility and community engagement, aligning with its wider mission to protect
resources, reduce waste and support sustainable communities.
Speaking after the event, the team reflected positively on the experience, highlighting the visible difference made in just a few hours and the value of businesses working together for a shared purpose.
Naomi Smith, Internal Communications & Engagement Advisor at FCC Environment, said: “We were really proud to support the Keep Doncaster Tidy event and play our part in making a visible difference to the local community. I’m incredibly grateful to my colleagues who gave their time and energy on the day –their enthusiasm and teamwork made a real impact. Coming together to take practical action like this aligns so closely with our values as a business – caring for the environment, supporting the communities we work in, and taking responsibility for the impact we make. Even in a short space of time, it was rewarding to see how a small team effort can contribute positively to the place we live and work.”
On May 1st, the Renters’ Rights Act tenancy reforms came into force across the country, with many changes private tenants and landlords across Sheffield will need to be aware of. There is information available on the government website that private landlords must familiarise themselves with. The key details of this are below. What private tenants need to know
From today, most private renters will have what is known as an ‘assured periodic tenancy’. This means they are rolling from month to month, or even or week to week. They do not have a fixed end date, even if an older agreement uses different wording. If a tenant wants to leave an assured tenancy, they generally need to give two months’ notice. This should normally end on the first or last day of the rent period. Section 21 notices can no longer be served on tenants. Any Section 21 notice issued from today’s date is not valid. Where a valid Section 21 notice was served before today, there are time limits on how long it can be relied on.
If you’ve been given notice to leave If a landlord wants a tenant to leave, they must follow the legal process. In most cases they must use a Section 8 notice and then apply to the court for a possession order. Only a court can order a tenant to leave.
Sheffield City Council’s Tenancy Relations Service can help tenants understand their rights and can check whether a notice appears to be legally valid. If a landlord attempts to evict someone without following the correct legal process, this may be

unlawful and can result in a custodial sentence or a financial penalty of up to £40,000.
What landlords need to know
Landlords must ensure they are familiar with the new legal requirements for the private rented sector, including the processes for ending tenancies and the notices that must be used. Landlords who use letting or managing agents should also ensure their agent is part of a government approved redress scheme. All private landlords are under an obligation to provide their tenants with an information sheet about the new laws by 31 May, 2026, unless they have never given their tenants a written tenancy agreement, in which case they must give their tenants a more detailed statement of terms. Landlords who fail to give their tenants the information sheet, or give their tenants the wrong kind of notice to leave, may be fined up to £7,000.
Further information and support
The Council’s updated guidance for tenants and landlords is available online.
Private tenants can find advice and support on the Sheffield City Council website.
There is also support for landlords available at the Sheffield City Council website.

FOOTBALLR UNDUP
Rotherham United
extended an enormous heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported the Game of the Century, the proceeds of which raised an incredible £58,500 to be shared equally between Rotherham Hospice and the Community Trust’s 50k Power Play. It was universally agreed by those in attendance that the event was a fantastic celebration of the football club and its Centenary Year in support of two outstanding charitable causes, as club legends from throughout the club’s history came together to take part in a once-in-a-lifetime exhibition match in memory of Owen Jenkinson.
From Tony Towner kicking off the match to John Breckin’s “Clifton, erm, Stockley Park” VAR decision, and everything in between – including former World Cup referee Howard Webb
officiating the game and Neil Warnock receiving his marching orders with a red card – the occasion provided an enjoyable day for all following a challenging season for the football club.
Supporters were also treated to Adam Le Fondre’s sharp finishing, Chris Sedgwick’s pinpoint deliveries and a trademark crunching challenge from Guy Branston, all of which added to another wonderful example of the town coming together to show appreciation for club legends and those associated with the two charities.
The club also placed on record its heartfelt thanks to match sponsors Fintel, those who pledged their support to Ronnie and Breck’s XI – Tatton Investment Management – and Neil Warnock’s XI – RSMR – alongside everyone who chose to sponsor a player on the day.
Ticket and matchday
LA PLATA S.C.
programme sales, combined with supporters’ generous contributions to raffles, tombolas and bucket collections, helped the fundraising total reach a remarkable £58,500. Sincere thanks were extended to every individual who contributed towards that figure.
The funds raised will contribute towards the £10.2 million required annually for Rotherham Hospice to continue providing invaluable services to the community, while also helping to ensure that the Community Trust’s Powerchair Football team can secure a new fleet of powerchairs, equipping them as one of very few teams of their kind in the South Yorkshire region.
In short, the contributions made will have a genuine impact on the charities they support, and the backing shown towards the event was greatly appreciated.
It was both a pleasure and a privilege for the club to host such a celebration of its history, and doing so in the name of charity made the occasion even more special.
We Can be Very Proud of our fans
