We work with grant-making organisations of all sizes to provide outstanding palliative care to the people of Barnsley. As a small hospice, grants have an immediate and tangible impact on our patients and their loved ones.
Trusts and foundations fund transformative improvements to care, upgrade our equipment, and deliver impactful, evidence-based solutions to challenges facing people with life-limiting illnesses in our community.
Dying at home with dignity
St James’s Place Charitable Foundation awarded Barnsley Hospice funding through a grant managed by Hospice UK for an innovative new programme to help more patients die at home with dignity. By funding the pilot of a three-day pathway, which saw nurses follow up with patients post-discharge, St James’s Place Charitable Foundation has given people greater choice over where they die, while preventing readmissions and reducing pain.
Charlie, Grants and Major Donor Manager:
“It is a privilege to work with people and organisations determined to improve care for people with life-limiting illnesses in my local community. If you represent a charitable trust or foundation and are interested in becoming a part of this effort, please get in touch. I’d love to speak to you about how we can make a bigger difference together.”
If you are interested in supporting Barnsley Hospice through a trust or foundation, we would love to hear from you. Our dedicated grants team will work with you to maximise the impact of your support. We want all our donors to feel valued, and for your experience of giving to the hospice to be rewarding and efficient. We are committed to keeping you updated on the outcomes of your support in line with your preferences and requirements. To find out more, please email charlie.straw@barnsley-hospice.org.
Creating a calm, welcoming environment
We worked with the B&Q Foundation to renovate our patient and visitor lounge. This space allows families to spend precious time together outside of patient rooms and away from the ward.
A grant from the B&Q Foundation helped to change the space into a relaxing environment with comfortable chairs and sofas, homely décor and space for reading and playing games.
