Barnsley Hospice provides specialist palliative care for hundreds of local people each year, completely free of charge.
We are a charity – our care is free for patients but not free to provide.
We care for patients at home, in the community and at the hospice.
We care for patients with all life-limiting illnesses – not just cancer.
We care for patients in all areas of Barnsley.
We support patients’ families and those close to them.
