Mission Statement

The aim of Barnsley Hospice is to provide specialist palliative care. The vision is to be the
first choice for patients, referrers and customers of all of our services, to provide more
services to more people and to be regarded as an Outstanding Hospice. Our values are to
ensure that patients and their families and those close to them are at the centre of all our
activities and are cared for and supported in safe and comfortable surroundings. We provide
the highest standard of care by responding to individual needs, supporting choice and
independence. By doing meaningful work we make all of our patients and their families and
those close to them feel valued. Each person will be treated as an individual and will be
given empathy and respect. We are passionate about getting it right in an effective, efficient
and financially sustainable way.
