Relaunch of Project! Please Share

🙌 A big thank you to our local Miners’ Welfares! ⚒️⚽

We’d like to say a huge thank you to Eric and the team at Dodworth Miners Welfare, and to Mark at Woolley Miners Welfare, for engaging so positively with the Pits to Pitches project.

We also had a really good conversation with a member of the Crowcroft family, who have put so much hard work into Woolley over the years.

We’ve had two very positive meetings, and there are some exciting things on the horizon as we work together to celebrate Barnsley’s proud mining and sporting heritage.

👉 We’d now love to hear from Welfares in:
📍 Grimethorpe
📍 Darfield
📍 Wombwell

If you’re involved with a Welfare in these areas, please get in touch – we’d love for you to be part of this exciting journey.

Together, we’ll make sure Barnsley’s story from the coalface to the playing field is remembered, celebrated, and shared with future generations.
