The mayor of Doncaster and a city MP joined forces for the opening

Mayor of Doncaster Ros Jones and Doncaster North MP Ed Miliband joined forces to open a new community hub in the city.

The brand-new community hub has officially been opened in Highfields as part of a series of projects under the UK Government Pride in Place Impact Fund.

Awarded by the government, the £1.5m fund is split over two years across three local areas, with projects in Edlington, Hexthorpe and Highfields.

Alongside recent renovations to Hexthorpe Community Hub and Doncaster Plant Works Amateur Boxing Club in Hexthorpe, a brand-new community hub has now opened in Highfields, creating a space for the local community to build community ties, and receive help, support and advice on local issues.
