General Election - less than a week away

It's less than a week until polling stations will be open for residents to cast their vote in the upcoming General Election on July 4.

A reminder that if you are voting in a polling station, you will have to show an official form of photographic ID before you can be given a ballot paper.

To find details of all the photographic ID which can be accepted, go to our webpage:

Voter ID

You may also be confused about which constituency you’re voting in on July 4.

Last year, a review was undertaken by the Boundary Commission for England, which means there are now new Parliamentary constituency boundaries.

You can find further details of which constituency your area falls here:

Gambling Support

There’s lots of exciting sport continuing over the weekend, but we know for those who are affected by gambling, it can be a time of worry.

Sometimes, knowing how to make the first step can be difficult. Your Life Doncaster has lots of information about gambling services and support you can access, including:

  • Chapter One: an online hub where you can find more information about gambling harms and where to get support.
  • The NHS Northern Gambling Service: Provides specialist addiction therapies and treatment for adults who are experiencing gambling harms and addiction, as well as mental health therapies.

There has never been a better time to reach out.

Euro 2024: Domestic Abuse Awareness

As the men's team head off into the knock-out stages, tensions are raised for England fans - as well as victims of Domestic Abuse.

Emotions can run high during a match but a win or a knockout is never an excuse for abuse.

If you are concerned about your safety, there IS help available. Call the Doncaster Domestic Abuse Hub on 01302 737 080, Police on 101 or 999 in an emergency.
