Cha Cha Slide-ers take steps for SAFE@LAST: PICTURES
Schools and businesses across the town got to their feet on Friday and danced to Cha Cha Slide to raise funds for children’s charity SAFE@LAST.
Katie Eastburn, the charity’s runaways education officer, said: “We’d like to say a massive thank you to everyone who took part and supported the Big Bop.

“It was a huge success and fantastic to see so many people dancing together in aid of SAFE@LAST.
“Over all we had around six schools taking part and various businesses Cha Cha sliding.
“The money is still coming in, but we have raised around £3,000 which will be used to continue our vital services with young runaways across South Yorkshire.”
SAFE@LAST helps and support young people under the age of 16 who feel the need to run away from home.
The charity provides a range of support services including a refuge and 24-hour helpline.
The idea for the dance came through Katie's work with young people at Thrybergh School and Sports College.
