The team of cyclists set themselves the challenge of travelling the equivalent distance of cycling from Rotherham to Leeds and Back, a total of 75 miles in 3.5hrs. We are proud to say they achieved it and raised a total of £110. Stacey Balmer, HR Advisor, VAR said "It was great to see staff pulling together to support such a worthwhile cause" Wed, 21 Mar 2012 16:18:37 +0100 http://www.varotherham.org.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=929&Itemid=229 ROTHERHAM’S “HEROES” HONOURED Click on the picture to see the nominees video   The 3rd Annual Community Achievement Awards took place on Friday 14th November at Magna.
