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.

Our Good Finds Market at Barnsley & District Markets was one to remember and it’s all thanks to you BARNSLEY!!!

Over just two days, we rehomed 1,000+ items, making it a record-breaking event for our Barnsley Hospice Retail Hub team 🙌

Hundreds of people browsed the rails and grabbed a bargain (or three 👀), it was incredible to see so many of you come out to support us. The atmosphere and the support from our community was just amazing.

Every single purchase made helped raise vital funds to support the specialist palliative and end of life care we provide at Barnsley Hospice. So truly, thank you.

To everyone who visited, shopped, shared and supported us over the weekend… we couldn’t do it without you 🧡

Missed it this time? Don’t worry… something tells us this won’t be the last 👀

🧡 We’re proud to have such an incredible Complementary Therapy team at the hospice. With a broad range of skills and expertise, their therapies support the work on our Inpatient Unit to ensure every patient receives the best possible care and help with their symptoms while they are with us.

As part of National Complementary Therapy Week, our Complementary Therapy and Wellbeing Lead, Diane, has shared why the use of therapies and treatments is so important in palliative and end of life care:

“Complementary Therapy goes hand in hand with medical treatment to support symptoms that can form as a result of life-living illnesses. For example, chemotherapy can cause damage to nails; to support patients, we can provide manicures and pedicures to promote growth. Or we can teach people relaxation and mindfulness techniques to use if they are experiencing anxiety around appointments and scans. However we can help patients to feel just a little better and more comfortable while they are with us, we’re here to help.”

⚽️ Saturday was our annual Takeover Day at Barnsley FC's home match against Doncaster Rovers as our team of volunteers headed to Oakwell in hospice orange.

It's no secret that many of our staff, patients, supporters and volunteers are huge supporters of the Reds, our relationship with the football club means so much to so many of us at the hospice and our annual Takeover Day gives us the chance to fundraise and talk with Barnsley supporters about our services.

On the day, the players warmed up in hospice t-shirts before the match, with the matchday programme turning hospice orange for one day only and it featured information about the hospice inside. The generosity of the fans was felt throughout the stadium. The club generously donated various raffle prizes which were drawn on the day, and along with our bucket collection, amounted to a total of £2,917.32! 🤩

There are still two unclaimed raffle prizes from the day:

Green 221-225
Pink 571-575

Please contact Simon Atkinson at Barnsley Hospice on 01226 244 244 if you have a winning ticket.

We really appreciate the incredible support shown from Barnsley Football Club for once again accommodating our Takeover Day. And to the fans who donated, chatted and bought raffle tickets, a huge thank you to you all for helping raise this incredible amount.

You Reds!

This week marks ‘National Complementary Therapy Week’, a yearly celebration and acknowledgement of the various types of therapies.

At Barnsley Hospice, complementary therapies play a key role in the care we provide to our patients, their loved ones and users of our hospice day services in The Orangery.

These therapies are offered alongside medical treatments to support with physical symptoms like pain, nausea or sleep problems, and psychological symptoms such as anxiety, depression, stress and bereavement.

Our treatments include aromatherapy, massages, manicures, reflexology and mindfulness, and therapies are tailored to suit the bespoke needs of our patients.

We look forward to sharing more about our team and therapies this week, but to find out more about The Orangery for now, please visit our website:
