Barnsley Hospice

Who we are

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. 

Accessing our care is free for patients and their families but not free to provide. Barnsley Hospice receives a grant from the Barnsley NHS Clinical Commissioning Group each year, but as a charity, we also need to raise nearly £2 million in additional funding to sustain services.
