Organising a fundraiser for Barnsley Hospice

We’re very grateful to all the amazing individuals, groups, pubs, clubs, teams and venues who organise their own fundraising activities to support the hospice!

As a charity, we rely on our supporters to cover the costs of delivering free specialist care for patients and families. Read more about how we are funded.

You can donate any money you’ve already raised via our secure, online donation form today.

Doing the 3 Peaks for the Barnsley Hospice was an amazing experience; the scenery & the satisfaction of completing it is something I will never forget.

Gavin Coles

“What better motivation than to raise some funds for Barnsley Hospice?… I am in awe of, and have enormous respect for the vital work they do, particularly during the challenges of the past two years.”

Emily Hirst

“We are raising money in memory of our friend’s daughter. She was fortunate to have spent some time at the hospice and was looked after with such care and dignity. Our friend can’t thank the hospice enough for taking care of her.”

Janet and Jocelyn

“Barnsley Hospice has supported many of my family and friends. It brings the community closer together, and gives the town the fighting spirit to continue to raise funds for the amazing work it does, every single day.”

Naomi Crookes

“Barnsley Hospice is a great local charity that we feel proud to support.”

Gordon Bird, Mellors News

Doing the Yorkshire Three Peaks was a fantastic life experience and adventure. It was hard – I was certainly glad I trained in the run-up – but it was all so worth it! The sense of achievement was off the scale, and I raised an incredible amount for the wonderful Barnsley Hospice.

Simon Atkinson

“My mum spent the last three weeks of her 97-year life in the hospice. In the ensuing years I have personally, and through my running club Barnsley Harriers, raised thousands for the hospice. In some small way, I hope I have repaid all the kindness, care and consideration my mum received.”

How do I send you the money I have raised for the hospice?

You can donate the money you’ve raised using the Make a Donation form on this website. It’s quick, easy a secure and we’ll send you an acknowledgement of your donation.

Let us know all about your event and ask if you’d like someone to attend by completing our fundraising contact form here or get in touch on 01226 244 244 or fundraising@barnsley-hospice.org.

How do I set up a JustGiving page for my hospice fundraiser?

This is a really good way to promote your event and collect donations. It’s easy to set up your own JustGiving account, create an event page and connect it to our charity account – just search ‘Barnsley Hospice’. The money you collect on JustGiving comes to us directly, so there is nothing more for you to do. Here is our ‘how to’ guide. You can use other online giving platforms too, but JustGiving is the one we recommend.

Will you help me to plan and organise my event?

Unfortunately, we are not able to get involved in organising your independent event. But, we are always here to offer advice and support. We also have downloadable resources available via our website, plus you can request a fundraising bundle – banner, balloons, bucket. See our own hospice-organised events and fundraisers on our Events page.

Do I have to tell you I am planning to fundraise for you?

It’s great to hear about your fundraiser beforehand if possible. This helps us to offer any support in the run up, and say thank you for your efforts. You can let us know by completing our fundraising contact form on this page or email us on fundraising@barnsley-hospice.org or call 01226 244 244. If you’ve already done your fundraiser, no worries at all though. We’d love to hear from you now and receive your donation.

Can I have a Barnsley Hospice T-shirt?

Can I have a Barnsley Hospice running vest?

Everyone who registers with us to enter a sponsored running event in aid of the hospice is automatically given a bright orange hospice vest. Please get in touch with any queries on 01226 244 244 or fundraising@barnsley-hospice.org
