Supermarket staff raise cash for Barnsley NHS workers

STAFF at a Wombwell supermarket have been praised for donating more than £400 to Barnsley Hospital.

Three Tesco Express stores in Wombwell, Carlton Road and Huddersfield Road collected funds throughout the pandemic to donate to Barnsley Hospital Charity.

The team donated the cheque yesterday (October 20), to the hospital which will be used to support workers on the frontline.

A spokesperson for Barnsley Hospital Charity said: “Thank you to the super staff and customers of Tesco Express, this will make a real difference for our patients and staff.

“Your support is helping to give a pick-me-up in times of need.”
