During the pandemic, we have been able to support Barnsley Hospice who have been seeking emergency funding so they can continue the valuable work they provide.

During the pandemic, we have been able to support Barnsley Hospice who have been seeking emergency funding so they can continue the valuable work they provide.

Barnsley Hospice is an independent hospice and a registered charity who provides specialist palliative care to hundreds of people suffering with life-limiting illnesses across the Barnsley area.  

Like many charities at this unsettling time, the hospice has been severely affected by the pandemic through cancelled fundraising events, limited sponsored events and vulnerable staff unable to volunteer. The charity has lost, and is still losing, around £2,300 a day as a result of the pandemic, leaving them fully reliant on donations.

We were delighted to donate £1,000 to the hospice which will go towards their general running costs and support their ongoing rewarding work.

With the recent re-opening of their charity shops, Barnsley Hospice is urging now more than ever for people to show their support. They have introduced new re-usable branded facemasks that can be bought from their shops with all profits going towards the hospice.

Thank you very much to Henry Boot for kindly helping the Hospice in this way.
