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.

A huge thank you to El Dance Studios in Hemsworth, Pontefract, for raising a fantastic £240 from a raffle at their annual dance school show - with £140 donated to Barnsley Hospice and £100 to The Prince of Wales Hospice, Pontefract. 🧡

This special fundraiser was held in loving memory of Gemma Trickett, a talented dancer and much-loved friend to many. Miss Eleanor, Principal of El Dance Studios, shared:

“Gemma loved dance and always supported us. She was a great dancer herself and came to adult classes more recently. She really was a beautiful and amazing woman. We danced together as children, and were childhood and teen duet partners. We went to college together, and remained close friends ever since. Gemma spent her last days in Barnsley Hospice back in May. She was full of praise for the Hospice and the staff and how well they looked after her.”

We’re so grateful to everyone who took part in the raffle and to Miss Eleanor for organising such a meaningful tribute.

Your generosity helps us continue providing the outstanding palliative and end of life care we provide to the local community of Barnsley. 🧡

We were recently delighted to welcome the owner and manager of Thornhill House care home, who are tremendous supporters of us at the hospice, for a visit around our building in Gawber.

It was wonderful hearing their interest in our services and how we have to raise roughly two-thirds of our income on average every year to keep our services running. Their visit left such an impression, that they handed over a cheque for £1,100 and pledged further generous support for the hospice.

Thank you so much for your interest and generosity! 🧡

As part of the many steps we are taking as a hospice to ensure we can be here for the people of Barnsley into the future, we were recently delighted to have had two new water heaters installed at our hospice building.

These new efficient heaters will not only increase our water-heating efficiency by more than 16%, but also ensure we have lower energy bills and provide a constant and reliable source of hot water.

Having a robust and reliable water-heating system is vital in enabling us to provide outstanding care, whether that be a relaxing moment of peace in our whirlpool bath bath for a patient, or simply providing a warm and welcoming environment for patients and their loved ones to enjoy precious time together in comfort.

The heaters and their installation were generously funded by Four Winds Energy Co-op, a community energy cooperative with a wind turbine between Grimethorpe and Cudworth.

A huge thank you to Four Winds for this gift which will make our hospice more environmentally and financially sustainable so that we can continue to provide outstanding care for years to come to the people of Barnsley and those close to them. 🧡

🤩 There's a new addition to the Barnsley Hospice gardens! We recently added this amazing hedgehog house, thanks to the team at Shaw Lane Mens Shed, a fellow local organisation where men over 50 meet up, learn new skills, and create amazing items like this. 🦔

We're so proud of the wonderful wildlife we have living around the hospice, and this house will ensure our hedgehogs have a space to keep safe and warm over the winter months. What a fantastic example of the local community coming together to support one another! 🧡
