(315)

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.

🪂 Could there possibly be anything more exciting to bond as a team than jumping from the sky together? 🤩

You and your work colleagues can encourage each other from 15,000ft as you jump at speeds of up to 120mph to make your future chats at the water-cooler a lot more interesting!

We have the perfect challenge where gravity does most of the work and your bravery will make a massive difference to the care and support we provide at Barnsley Hospice.

The Accumulator Challenge is back for 2026!

As one of the nation's favourite TV shows returns tonight, so does Barnsley's Lord Sweetener!

Lord Sweetener's suit has been returned from the dry cleaners, and he has a £30 'loan' ready for you to turn into as much money as possible for Barnsley Hospice!

The Accumulator Challenge is the hospice's most innovative and creative fundraising challenge, putting you and your team-mates' business acumen to the test throughout the entire month of March.

We've had some weird and wonderful fundraising down the years, and Lord Sweetener is looking for more businesses and organisations to take part and put the 'fun' in fundraising.

Simon 'Lord Sweetener' Atkinson, says: "It's that time of year again and I have £30 of seed money here with your name on it for you and your business or colleagues to conjure up as much cash as possible with your innovative - and often whacky(!) - ways! We've had dinosaurs serving cookies, guess the baby's weight, 80s dancing, specially-themed gelato and bespoke cocktails down the years, all with the intention of raising vital funds for our wonderful hospice's services.

"If you've got what it takes, give me a call on 01226 244 244 or email simon.atkinson@barnsley-hospice.org as I'd love to 'hire' you!"

🏃 Our supporter George is calling on Barnsley to challenge themselves and make a difference to the palliative care and support Barnsley Hospice provides to local people.

Having finished his 87km challenge before Christmas, George admits he went 'out of his comfort zone' in memory of his grandma Anita, and is calling on others to do the same.

"Running laps of my local park was very much out of my comfort zone and, whilst to some it wasn't a physically challenging effort, I was pushing myself to do something out of the norm. Knowing I was doing it in memory of my grandma and for Barnsley Hospice gave me the push I needed and I'd urge anyone else who isn't sure to do the same and make a difference. It doesn't matter what it is, a bake sale, a run, a hike, do something for Barnsley Hospice because every little bit helps."

👉🏻 We have lots of different events and fundraiser available for people seeking all sorts of challenges and adventures. Find out more and challenge yourself to make a difference to local people and their loved ones today at https://www.barnsleyhospice.org/support-us/support-our-events-and-campaigns/
