Crafty communities come together to celebrate Rotherham

ROTHERHAM’S District Commander is throwing his weight behind an art project aimed at uniting communities.

The Art Bomb, which has been set up by Rotherham Ethnic Minority Alliance (REMA), encourages people from groups across the town to get creative and donate craft projects for a two-week gallery.

Items can be made from any material, from knitted items to clay, and must be submitted by July 13 to go on display at various locations throughout Rotherham.

Chief Supt Rob Odell, of South Yorkshire Police, (pictured) said: “We fully support REMA’s project which aims to unite communities and get people involved in an exciting, borough-wide project.

“The Art Bomb is part of a larger scale project which promotes tolerance and encourages people to be kinder to each other.

“I would encourage people to sign up and share this celebration of our diverse town.”
