Barnsley Hospice is a charity (reg number 700586) providing specialist palliative and end of life care for people living with a life-limiting illness and those close to them. Our main priority is to achieve the best possible quality of life for patients with a life limiting diseases, whilst supporting their families, during periods of illness and at the end of life. As a specialist care provider, the range of skills we offer include, pain and symptom management, emotional support and bereavement support. We are a charity - our care is free for patients but not free to provide. We are funded through an NHS grant, plus the generous donations and fundraising efforts of our community and supporters. Please note, we care for patients at home, in the community and at the hospice. We care for patients with all life-limiting illnesses - not just cancer. And, we support patients' families and those close to them too.

We would like to say a huge thank you to Pen*stone W I for raising an incredible £400 for Barnsley Hospice. 🧡

At their annual meeting, Pen*stone W I presented cheques to both Barnsley Hospice and LimbBo Foundation after a full year of dedicated fundraising for two wonderful causes.

Their generous donation to the hospice will go towards creating a beautiful living garden wall in our Orangery next spring - a calming, nature-filled space for patients and families to enjoy together. 🌿✨

Thank you to everyone at Pen*stone W I for your continued kindness and support.🧡

Barnsley Hospice is proud to shine a light on our fantastic Nursing Support Workers this .

All of our Nursing Support Workers play a significant role in the first-hand delivery of outstanding care to the people of Barnsley and those close to them. Working across a variety of our health and care services, they work hard to support our registered nurses to ensure our service-users receive the best care possible.

So today we are saying a huge ‘thank you’ for the hard work and compassion our Nursing Support Workers display every day at Barnsley Hospice.

Becky Lambert, Head of Clinical Services and Quality Matron, pictured with one of our (Nursing Support Workers Jane), said: “Our Nursing Support Workers are absolutely vital in delivering personalised-care to all of our patients at the hospice. Every day we value their hard work, dedication and compassion but today is a special day to recognise and celebrate their important contribution at the hospice. Thank you to you all.”

We would like to say a huge thank you to the Barmby-Newsome family for hosting an incredible charity cowboy night at their home, raising an amazing £1,540 for the hospice. 🤠🧡

The evening included a raffle, games and some truly inspiring fundraising from youngsters Myla and Billie. Myla made and sold bracelets and buns, while Billie donated her beautiful handmade crocheted creations to be sold on the day - all helping to boost the final total.

We’d also like to congratulate Myla, who was recently featured in the Barnsley Chronicle after being shortlisted for the Young Champions Award for her amazing fundraising efforts. You can read her article here:
