The Core
Managed, designed and here because of Voluntary action Barnsley, The Core , is much , much more than a swanky new base for VAB, its purpose is clear and simple…..To meet the needs of Barnsley’s third sector, run by a charity for charities, providing affordable and accessible facilities and resources for voluntary and community organisations based in or working in the area.
The aim is to create a space where people can share the benefits of working together with like minded people and organisations., aiming at providing the best possible environment for the voluntary sector to work, network and socialise.
The building is compliant with the Disability Discrimination Act including a lift that gives access even in the event of a fire, an excellent example of how a modern building should cater for visitors and staff regardless of their level of mobility.
The Core houses a range of fully cabled meeting rooms with capacity for up to 40 people, seminar rooms, telephone and video conferencing, colour printers. Photocopiers, networking, broadband and internet access, pool laptops and data projectors, All this and the new Bus and rail terminus is on the doorstep too.
We are truly excited about opening up our new service to the residents of Barnsley in Barnsley’s newest and most vibrant workplace
- We are confident you join us in thinking we have a winning combination!

Funding? Premises? Charitable stauts? Check!!!!

What a great start we have had and what a fantastic response +me has received from everyone from our town , We are delighted to report that our Vice Chair and Treasurer Karl Cooper , was able last month to report to the +me board of Volunteers that he had received official notification of secured funding from Barnsley PCT to provide help , support and one to one sessions to the people in and around Barnsley whose lives are affected by or who are living with HIV. We, the board at +me have also met with solicitors to discuss and agree to move +me onwards and upwards and begin the process to register us as an official charity therefore enabling us to resource additional funding to ensure that +me is absolutely secure as Barnsley’s first choice support service for HIV/ AIDS.
We are resolute in our mission to be a professional yet small, client led organisation ran by and for the people of Barnsley living with and affected by HIV, we are not replacing alternative local services we are bridging the gap in services provided in Manchester, Sheffield and Leeds, because Barnsley counts!
We are here to stay and we are here to help, and it will be a great pleasure to serve our community with our experience, knowledge , professionalism and of course locality!.
