Heat

I reported from South Yorkshire this week as temperatures reached more than 30 degrees celsius. We filmed at Wales High School and Byron Lodge care home to see how they're coping in the heat.

Volunteers

I've been filming with people who give up their time to volunteer in South Yorkshire as data shows there's been a drop in the number of people volunteering in our region. In 2020, 1.7 million adults volunteered at least once a month in Yorkshire and the Humber but that's now fallen to 1.4 million last year. I’ve been filming at Wentworth Woodhouse, the Sheffield and Tinsley Canal and Gleadless Scout Group to find out how volunteers make such a difference.

Abdullah Murder Sentencing

This week I reported from Sheffield Crown Court on the sentencing of a driver who killed a 16-year-old boy in Sheffield when he mounted the pavement and hit him with his car. Abdullah Yaser Abdullah Taleb died when he was struck by an Audi driven by Zulkernain Ahmed in Sheffield a year ago.

The month after his death, I interviewed Abduallah's heart-broken and dignified family.
