Good nutrition and hydration can make a real difference to how our patients feel each day. 🧡

During Nutrition and Hydration Week, we’re shining a light on the thoughtful, personalised care that goes into every meal with our on-site catering team. From favourite foods to tailored portions, our team works closely with each patient to ensure meals are not only nourishing, but comforting too. 🍽️

Every plate served is part of the compassionate care we’re proud to provide here at Barnsley Hospice, supporting patients and their families when it matters most.

Today is and our Barnsley Hospice Retail Hub is proudly celebrating its sustainability achievements! ♻️🧡

Alongside helping to fund hospice care here at the hospice, the Retail Hub is also committed to making a real difference to the environment and the statistics speak for themselves! 😮🧡

A huge well done to the entire Retail team for their incredible efforts - your impact truly goes beyond the shop floor! 👏

Since 2020, we’ve saved 885,180 kg of clothing through textile recycling - stopping 221,295 items from going to landfill. 🌍♻️

But this isn’t just about the environment. It’s about our community.

Every bag of clothing donated to the Retail Hub has two powerful impacts - it reduces waste and helps raise vital funds for Barnsley Hospice. 🧡

When items can’t be sold in-store, they’re responsibly recycled. That means nothing goes to waste and every donation continues to truly support the specialist palliative and end of life care we provide for local people and families.

By choosing to donate with us, you’re protecting the planet and helping ensure compassionate care is there when it matters most.

That’s the power of shopping and donating locally. 💪

📍 Barnsley Hospice Retail Hub, Fall Bank Industrial Estate, Dodworth, S75 3LS
🕘 Monday to Saturday, 9 am – 4 pm
