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.

Lord Sweetener hired 20 businesses for the Barnsley Hospice Accumulator Challenge 2026 and how they have succeeded throughout March! 🤩

Each business/organisation was handed a £30 'loan' and had the task of turning that into as much money as possible for the specialist care and support Barnsley Hospice provides.

Across Barnsley they have baked, danced, gamed, raffled and partaken in lots of weird and wonderful fundraising to raise an incredible £17,304!

Corporate Partnership Manager at the hospice, Simon Atkinson - who adopts the alias of 'Lord Sweetener' for the challenge(!) - says: “Yet again after another year of wonderful and whacky fundraising, our Accumulator Challenge has gone from strength to strength in terms of its popularity and innovation. We’ve seen so many creative and generous businesses take part which never ceases to amaze us at the hospice – which relies on their efforts to keep our services running."

A huge well done to everybody for their efforts and thank you to all who supported the businesses and organisations who took part in the challenge.

How do you make your cuppa? ☕🧡

However you take your tea, it has a way of bringing people together. It’s more than just a drink, it’s a moment of comfort, a chance to pause and often the start of a meaningful conversation.

At Barnsley Hospice, those moments matter more than ever. For many of our patients, sharing a cuppa can be a small but important part of their day - sitting with loved ones, talking, laughing or simply enjoying quiet company.

It costs just £20 to provide an afternoon tea for two at the hospice. That’s sandwiches, sweet treats and of course, a proper brew - creating a space where patients and their families can spend quality time together when it matters most. 🍰

👉 This National Tea Day, we’d love to know… how do you make your cuppa?

Congratulations to our incredible five skydivers who soared to new heights this weekend in support of Barnsley Hospice 🧡

Taking that leap is no small feat and each of them faced their fears, all while raising vital funds to support our specialist end of life care for people and families across Barnsley.

For Julia, it was a completely new experience:
“It was my first time ever doing anything like this and I was absolutely terrified - but once I did it, I felt amazing. Knowing it was all for Barnsley Hospice made it so worth it.” 🪂

We’re so proud of every single one of you, thank you for making such a difference 🧡
