Barnsley Hospice

About

We are a charity providing specialist palliative care and support to local people living with a life-limiting illness and those close to them.

Barnsley Hospice provides specialist palliative care and support to people with active, progressive and life-limiting illnesses which cannot be cured. These conditions include cancer, heart and lung diseases and neurological diseases such as motor neurone disease and Parkinson’s disease.

Our care strives to improve the quality of life for patients and their families by providing pain and symptom relief; practical, emotional, spiritual and social support; counselling and bereavement support services.

The hospice is not just a building – it is a way of caring for people. With our support, patients are able to benefit from the best possible care throughout their illness and at the end of their life.

Barnsley Hospice services are provided by a specialist team of healthcare professionals and support staff, and the charity is run by a dedicated board of trustees, management team, staff and volunteers committed to supporting the hospice and the services it provides for the Barnsley community. Our fundraising team is there to help our supporters generate the vital income we need to keep our charity going.

The hospice includes a 10-bed Inpatient Unit and a newly-relaunched therapy and well-being support service called The Orangery and a Counselling and Bereavement Support service for patients and families.
