BERNESLAI Homes marked Yorkshire Day by celebrating the tenants and residents who make a positive impact across Barnsley.

Chief executive Amanda Garrard was joined by members of the community engagement team to surprise those who go above and beyond in their community.

Some of the recipients came from the Great Houghton Tenants’ and Residents’ Association (TARA).

This dedicated group works hard to bring projects and community spirit to their area.

The group organises an annual seaside trip, funded through their own fundraising efforts.

This year, they’re heading to Scarborough, with two coaches of residents.

Amanda said: “Yorkshire Day was a great opportunity to celebrate and thank the tenants who make Barnsley a great place to live.

“We wanted to acknowledge those who go above and beyond to create a positive impact in their communities.

“Groups like the Great Houghton TARA are vital in making Barnsley the special place it is, and we’re grateful for their dedication and hard work.”
