Victims of romance fraud in South Yorkshire had more than £914,000 stolen from them last year, as criminals continue to exploit online relationships to manipulate people into transferring money. Scammers will often try many tactics, including romance fraudsters creating fake profiles and catfishing their victims with stolen images to convince people to part with personal info and often, money.
The South York shire
Police fraud team is urging the public to remain cautious when forming relationships online and to be alert to warning signs:
• Individuals who develop relationships very quickly or express strong feelings early on
• Excuses not to meet in person or to avoid live video calls
• Wanting to send money, cryptocurrency or gift cards to someone you have not met face‑to‑face
• Talk of investments, medical emergencies
or travel costs
• You feel you are unable to or don’t want to talk about the relationship with friends or family
• The person you are communicating with doesn’t like it when you use ways to protect yourself from fraud
Make sure you:
• Speak to a trusted friend or family member if you want to send money
• Reverse-image search profile and other photos you are sent
• Actively let the
person know you are fraud aware and will be protecting yourself (if they don’t like it, this is a key warning sign)
• If you want to move money, listen to your bank and follow their advice to stop if they tell you they are concerned. Visit Stop! Think Fraud for more information on types of fraud and ways to protect yourself from them at stopthinkfraud. campaign.gov.uk/ If you suspect fraud or have sent money to someone you’re
now suspicious of, call 159 to speak to your bank. This is a national hotline which most banks have signed up to. It’s important to remember that romance fraud is never the victim’s fault. If you, or someone you know, is a victim of romance fraud, you can report it at www. southyorkshire.police. uk
Or you can report anonymously via the Crimestoppers website or by calling 0800 555 111.

THE UK’S #1 DAY CLUB TAKES OVER THE CITY HALL
Heading to Sheffield, Day Fever welcomes back DJ duo and real-life couple, Stars and Stace on Saturday 6th June.
They have been part of the Day Fever journey from the very beginning, delivering nostalgic, feelgood sets packed with big tunes and infectious chemistry.
From Rock City to European festivals, their mission is simple: raise the roof and keep the party bouncing.
Joining Stars and Stace will be Christian Carlisle.
Starting his career in the alternative club scene of his adoptive home town
Doncaster, Christian has played across the world and at iconic events at home. From Glastonbury and Leeds festival, his ability to get the party started and keep it going all night has made him a regular feature of the festival circuit.
Since joining Day Fever, Christian has become part of their A-team - the go-to DJ for bringing a vibrant party and an atmosphere free from inhibitions. He
won’t rest until every inch of the dance floor is occupied and every voice in the venue is belting out bangers.
Completing the bill is DJ Olly Hayes, a lineup that promises big tunes, uplifting moments and a dance floor full of pure Day Fever joy from start to finish.
Running from 3pm to 8pm, Day Fever is the ultimate feel-good night out, just earlier! No dress code, no pressure, and best of all, no ruined weekends. It’s all about
big tunes, big energy, and dancing like nobody’s watching… then still being home in time for a takeaway and then bed. Launched in 2024 by actress Vicky McClure alongside Jonny Owen, Jon McClure and co., what started in Sheffield has exploded into a nationwide phenomenon. From packed dancefloors to sold-out shows across the UK, it’s clear people are craving a chance to let loose without the 3am regret.

first Sheffield one to what we are now, the evolution of it is amazing,” says Vicky McClure. “It was still the same people that wanted the same thing; they just wanted to go out in the day… and just have a dance!”
Think less nightclub, more joyful chaos. “It feels like a massive house party at your nan’s,” Vicky laughs.
“No drama, no egos, just people acting daft, getting dressed up, and having the best time.”
At its heart, Day Fever is about community, a
space where everyone’s welcome to forget life’s pressures for a few hours.
“It’s stories that we hear that really sum up what it’s about,” says Vicky McClure. “We’ve had people going through chemotherapy… people grieving… and all of a sudden you just feel this room filled with love.”As
Jon puts it: “It’s like a wedding party where everyone actually wants to be there — and that’s magic.”

mum’s fundraising in memory
Bev High has found massive comfort as she grieves the loss of her only son, Chris – helping another “Chris” to graduate as a lifechanging assistance dog. Chris Tween was just 19 when he died after suffering an epileptic seizure, just weeks before he was due to start studying psychology at university.
Bev and Chris’ friends and family have spent the six years since Chris’ passing tirelessly fundraising – to pay for the training of an assistance dog at the Sheffield-based national Support Dogs charity and name the pooch in Chris’ honour. Bev and five of Chris’ friends were there to watch the clever red fox Labrador and his client, Amanda Davidson, receive their honours during Support Dogs’ annual Graduation and Awards ceremony, held in Sheffield. Knowing that canine Chris is making a real difference as someone’s lifeline is helping Bev to celebrate her son’s life – with widereaching results. The charity trains and provides highly-skilled assistance dogs to transform the lives of autistic children, adults with physical disabilities, and those living with epilepsy. Bev, 62, who lives in Crawley Down, West Sussex and works for Croydon Council, has been campaigning to raise awareness of SUDEP (Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy). She has also found great comfort in raising money to ensure someone can benefit from a life-saving or life-changing support dog – especially as Support Dogs is the only organisation in the UK which trains epilepsy seizure alert dogs.
“Seeing Chris graduate was joyful,” said Bev. “Chris wanted to go to university and never had the chance to graduate, but in a way, it was like seeing my Chris graduate. It was very moving and something positive to focus on. This has been a life-saver for me. Having something tangible where you can see the
difference it makes to someone is fantastic.”
Along with five of Chris’ friends, Steve Wilson, Shania Dale, Bailey Jarvis, Tom Eaton and Sidney Andrew-Coward and Bev’s friend Heather Beck, Bev watched as Chris and Amanda picked up their award and certificate.
Amanda, of Barnsley, is a former policewoman forced to retire after being injured in the line of duty. The motherof-two later contracted auto-immune disease lupus before suffering a stroke aged just 38. But Chris and his predecessor Jupiter have given her the confidence to face life with vitality, even tackling Mount Snowdon and breaking Paralympic archery records. Bev said: “I can see how much Chris does for her and how much she needs that support. He looks quite bullet-proof and has been very well trained. We first saw him as a pup, with his puppy socialiser. We found out he shared my son’s love of carrot sticks.” Bev added that Chris had dreamed of a future in psychology and just wanted to help people – just like the dog who now bears his name.
Amanda said: “It’s absolutely amazing that someone can take such a loss of a young son and turn it into such a positive effort that not only makes a big change for me, but it’s also helping others as Bev is hoping to raise more money for additional dogs. It’s an amazing show of strength and resilience and such positivity. It was an absolute privilege to meet her.” Having raised over £8,000, Bev and Chris’ friends and family are now fundraising for a second support dog, this time to be named ‘Tweeny’ in Chris’ memory.

call to end pensions credit rule
National charity Independent Age and 12 other organisations have teamed up to send an open letter to the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions Pat McFadden, calling for an end to the mixed age couples rule.
The rule, introduced in 2019, could be preventing around 70,000 low-income couples from receiving entitlements specifically for older people until they both reach State Pension age, leaving affected couples up to £7,000 worse off a year.
As well as the range of organisations calling for change, new polling from Independent Age shows that a large majority of the UK public back ending the rule, with 62% saying that couples where one person is over State Pension age should receive pension-age entitlements.
Together the organisations are urging the UK Government to reverse the mixedage couples rule, to allow couples to claim pensioner benefits, like Pension Credit, once the older partner reaches State Pension age.Data from 2019 shows that 12% of couples who could be eligible for Pension Credit have an age gap of more than 10 years, meaning the older partner may have to wait an extremely long time to access pensioner entitlements, adding to their financial strain.
While couples in this situation are eligible to receive Universal Credit, this is paid at a lower rate and is not designed to meet the needs of people over State Pension Age. In the letter the organisations say the issue is urgent:
“Nobody should be punished financially because of who they love. Yet as many as 70,000 older people are missing out on the financial safety net designed to protect pensioners, just because of their partner’s age. This is urgent. With the incoming rise in State Pension age, more and more couples on a low income will face an even longer wait to receive the entitlements they need due to the mixedage couples rule.”
Independent Age Chief Executive, Joanna Elson
CBE said:
“Every day we hear from older people struggling to make ends meet, and for thousands of mixed-
age couples the system is making that struggle even harder. This rule is unfairly locking around 70,000 older people out of vital pension-age support simply because their partner is younger.
“The UK Government has created a flawed system where two people of the same age can be treated completely differently depending on who they love. The financial support they are missing out on could be the difference between heating and eating or paying the rent.
“Twelve organisations have joined us in calling on the UK Government to act now and scrap the mixed-age couples rule, to ensure all older people on a low income get the financial security and dignity they deserve once they reach pension age.”
In the letter the organisations also express concern over ‘the assumption that all younger partners are able to be financially responsible for their household’ and how this ‘does not reflect reality for many couples. In lots of cases, a younger partner will have health conditions or unpaid caring responsibilities that could mean they are unable to work.’ Lynn, 62, and her husband David from Eastbourne have a five-year age gap and have been unable to access the support they need as a result: She said: “David and I met on a blind date. We’ve been married for nearly 24 years. Although David is my full-time carer, we’ve had a hard time getting any financial support because he’s five years older than me. We used to receive Employment and Support Allowance, but once my husband reached State Pension age, it stopped. David and I trudged around four different places, including the council, to try and find out what we were entitled to and we were told we could claim Pension Credit. But after seven months of receiving Pension Credit, we got a letter saying there had been a mistake and we weren’t entitled to it because we are a mixed-age couple. We were told to apply for Universal Credit instead. For the first time ever, we had to turn to a food bank to get by. If it wasn’t for our children, I don’t know what we’d have done. They helped us get through this very stressful time in our lives.”
delivering the peoples network
South Yorkshire is calling on people across Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham and Sheffield to help shape a better, simpler and more accountable bus network and deliver a real People’s Network.
As the region prepares to bring buses back under public control from September 2027, local voices will play a crucial role in ensuring early improvements reflect what people really need from their services.
More than a thousand people have already given their views through a new public survey which opened last month - giving passengers, residents, businesses and community groups the chance to share their experiences and priorities.
The questions draw on what people have already told SYMCA about where the network falls short, focusing on improving links to key destinations, closing gaps in coverage and making services more reliable.
Priorities for the network include:
• more direct and frequent connections to hospitals in all four districts,
• making it easier to get the bus to employment sites such as the Advanced Manufacturing Park, Armthorpe and Hoyland
• making it easier to travel by bus to hospitals, workplaces, town centres, schools, colleges and the shops
• improved coordination of services so operators or different services don’t run at the same time
Feedback on these early improvements will help shape the first changes passengers will see in 2027, when buses in South Yorkshire begin moving back under public control for the first time in decades. From September 2027, SYMCA will take responsibility for setting routes, timetables, fares and service standards, with revenue reinvested directly into improving services. For the first time since the 1980s, the region will have the power to set clear expectations for reliability, cleanliness, accessibility and customer experience.
Change will not happen all at once. Franchising will be introduced in phases between 2027 and 2029 to keep the network stable while improvements are rolled out gradually. Some changes will be visible early on including clearer information, new reliability standards, simpler and more integrated tickets and the rollout of the new public bus fleet.
More than 3,500 people have already helped shape the design of South Yorkshire’s new publicly owned bus fleet. Their feedback has informed the specification given to manufacturers, ensuring the new bus fleet reflects what passengers say they need.
Features include dedicated wheelchair and pushchair spaces, step-free boarding, real-time audio and visual announcements, improved lighting and handrails, clearer sightlines and CCTV throughout. At least 70 per cent of the new fleet will be fully electric.
sy police bravery awards
Four officers who saved a woman’s life after she was hit by a train have won South Yorkshire Police Federation Bravery Awards. On morning of 12 August 2024, firearms officers PC Christopher Bell, PC Ben Hawley, PC Carl Holden and PC Tanveer Akhtar responded to an emergency incident at Doncaster Station, where a woman was critically injured when she was hit by a train. The officers arrived at the station and were faced with a busy platform of commuters, including several who had watched the horrific incident unfold. PC Hawley said: “We ran past ambulance and fire services on the platform. I just shouted to Transport: ‘This line off? Are we safe to get down?’. Ultimately there was a lady under the train and she was still alive. So we’ve got to get on to that and deal with it.”
Working as a team, PC Bell, PC Holden, PC Akhtar and PC Hawley climbed down onto the track with their first aid equipment. PC Holden and PC Hawley climbed underneath the train and applied tourniquets to the woman’s legs. PC Bell and PC Akhtar crawled under the train too to offer further first aid support to the woman, who also had a head injury. PC Bell recalled: “I had to take my stab vest off to get under the train. My colleague Tan was already under there, and then we manoeuvred up towards the woman together, leaving Ben and Carl continuing to try and finish the tourniquets on her legs. When we got to the top she was conscious, but you could tell she’d got a head injury and at that point we were continuing to check her

rest of her body, because we didn’t know what other injuries she’d got. It was surprising that she was conscious and talking. She could tell us her name, but was massively in shock. The paramedic arrived and gave us instructions, but ultimately he said he couldn’t deal with her under the train. We only had about 1ft clearance above our heads, so Ben came in from the other side and the three of us moved her inch by inch so we could support her head.”
The woman was taken to hospital, and NHS surgeons who treated the woman contacted police to say that without the officers’ intervention, the woman’s life “would have been lost”. PC Bell said: “That was nice to hear. I’ve got 20 years in the job, and you very rarely get recognition, you don’t really expect to hear anything back afterwards.”
When he heard they were receiving Federation Awards, PC Bell said: “We were completely surprised. Last year, we received Royal Humane Society Awards, so it was a bit of a surprise to actually find out that we were getting something else.” PC Hawley said that receiving a Federation award was “humbling”, adding: “It just reassures you that, despite all the negativity that’s out there about policing, we do some really good things.”
South Yorkshire Police Federation Chair Steve Kent said: “This was a truly harrowing incident, and the four officers took a personal risk in climbing under the train They showed true courage, professionalism and dedication that day, and they succeeded in saving the woman’s life.”

‘SheFFieLd wine weeK’ returnS For itS third year
Like the finest appellations of Burgundy and the most coveted California cabsavs, nothing else in the world is quite like Sheffield Wine Week.
Yes, the Steel City may be home to more breweries than vineyards, but now in its third year, this five-day wine celebration –recently named ‘Best Local Event’ –proves an appreciation for wine can grow even where chardonnay grapes may not.
Taking place from Wednesday 24th June to Sunday 28th June2026, Sheffield Wine Week provides a platform for bars, restaurants and retailers
across Sheffield and beyond to celebrate wine with offers or events of their choosing –from discounts to flights, tastings to talks. And once again, Sheffield Wine Week itself hosts the headlining event: Wine Week Fest at Bole Hills on Saturday 27th June!
Featuring over 20 wine vendors and expecting nearly 2,000 guests, this massive outdoor festival brings California flare to the hills of Crookes –offering loads of pay-as-you-go vino alongside food trucks, live music and other family-friendly activities.
“We are so excited to bring the Fest back for its second
year.” said Sheffield Wine Week co-founder and Tenaya owner Virginia Myers. “The event managed to capture just the atmosphere we had hoped for –a chilled out, family-friendly day enjoying a beautiful Sheffield green space with lots of interesting wines to discover. New wines were enjoyed, delicious food was eaten, and happy times were had! This year expect more wine, more food and more fun!”
Each year, over a dozen venues participate in Sheffield Wine Week, the North’s largest multi-day, multi-venue wine event. This year’s participants include official event sponsor
Vintners on the Brook alongside Tenaya, The Old Shoe, Elm, Barks, Not Open; Don’t Come, Bench Group, Chocolate Bar by Bullion, Gills & Co, Hop Hideout, The Pangolin, Starmore Boss, The Three Tuns, and The Wonky Labrador... with more names joining all the time.
Meanwhile, the Fest @ Bole Hills will be overflowing with incredible wineries and wine merchants. Those already scheduled to be pouring include Alliance, Ally, Barrique, Carte Blanche, Central, English Wine Project, Hazel End, Museum, Pandemonium, Passione Vino, Quality Ferments, Thorne, and Wanderlust. Adding to the anticipation, Sheffield
Wine Week was recently named ‘Best Local Event’ at the Exposed Awards –an unexpected honour in a city better known for its worldclass beer culture.
“Some may consider advocating for wine in Northern England as perhaps a bit odd.” said Sheffield Wine Week co-founder Mike Pomranz. “But it’s driven by genuine passion. And being passionate isn’t weird; it’s contagious. For three years now, this event has been growing: getting over a thousand people to come together to drink wine in Crookes, the awards –it’s just the beginning. We really do see Sheffield as a British hub for wine outside of London.”
Tickets for Wine Week Fest @ Bole Hillsare on sale now at sheffieldwineweek.co.uk/fest. And a continually-growing list of all of the events for Sheffield Wine Week can be found on its website: sheffieldwineweek. co.uk.

FOOTBALLR UNDUP
The first working class captain of England, who was from Sheffield, was honoured with a new blue plaque last weekend at The Old Grindstone Pub in Crookes, close to where he was born.
John ‘Jack’ Hunter, who was born in the Crookes area of the city in 1851, is being hailed as the ‘Father of the People’s Game’ by the charity Sheffield Home of Football (SHOF).
Steve Wood, historian and trustee of SHOF, said: “Other than the first ever association club match between Hallam and Sheffield,
the 1883 FA Cup Final between Blackburn Olympic and the Old Etonians is arguably the most important game in football history.
“Blackburn Olympic’s victory marked the first time a northern working-class side had won the FA Cup and signalled the end of upper-class dominance in the game. Hunter took the ‘Sheffield Rules’ to Blackburn and helped shape a new era for football.
“The success of Blackburn Olympic helped the growth of working-class clubs, increased crowds and interest in the game,
and marked the arrival of professionalism. It was a defining moment in the creation of the ‘people’s game’.
“Hunter was a pioneering footballer who played for more than 20 local clubs, became the first working-class captain of England, and helped introduce creative passing and tactical innovations that influenced the modern game.
“He has long been overlooked for his contribution to football, but his legacy helped open the game to millions and deserves to be recognised.”

The award recognises the achievements of an outstanding scholar at each club who has
excelled in all aspects of the Scholarship Programme. Reid joined the Blades two years ago from Manchester City and has been a regular for both the Under 18s and Under 21s across the past 12 months ago, before an injury curtailed his campaign. Nominated for the
award by the academy education department, Reid follows in the footsteps of the likes of Oliver Arblaster in winning the award, thanks to both his application to his playing career, but also his attitude and conduct within the education and life skills sessions. Reid

Rotherham United are delighted to welcome Steve McClaren to the club as he joins in a newlycreated role as our Head of Football. It has been universally agreed by Rotherham’s Chairman Tony Stewart and the club’s Directors that the former England manager’s vast experience across
numerous levels and disciplines within the game would bring enormous value and prestige to the football operation and McClaren begins his job with the Millers with immediate effect.
A series of detailed discussions between all parties concerned successfully concluded last week with the appointment of the expertly-qualified operator being finalised ahead of an important summer for the football club.
The Yorkshireman’s role will see him provide strategic leadership and oversight across the football operations with the objective of rebuilding the club following relegation from Sky Bet League One.
McClaren’s appointment will
enable the club to establish a sustainable structure that enhances the club’s efficiency in departments both on and off the pitch and will see him become highly-influential in his advising of the Chairman and Board on all football-related decisions, the most immediate of which will concern the appointment of a new first team manager/ head coach.
The former Manchester United assistant will lead and manage the process for the recruitment and appointment of the candidate selected to fill that position and will define performance expectations and the football philosophy for that individual and their associated staff.
The club will utilise
Steve’s vast experience in the game in every aspect of its processes from player recruitment and squad planning – in which area he will work closely with the Millers’ Director of Football Recruitment
Rob Scott - to day-today decision-making. Alongside his numerous years within the English game, the Fulfordborn operator’s CV details management experience in countries away from UK shores including Germany,
the Netherlands and Jamaica, while he can also call upon off-field knowledge from his time as Technical Director with Derby County and Coaching Consultant with Maccabi Tel Aviv. It goes without saying that everyone at Rotherham United is hugely excited about the opportunity to work alongside an individual in Steve with such standing in the game and they are greatly looking forward to what the future holds together.
