As part of Carers Week 2025 (Monday 9 – Sunday 15 June), Barnsley Hospice is inviting unpaid carers of someone with a progressive, life limiting illness to a coffee and cake event, ‘Care for a Cuppa’ on Thursday 12 June.
Held at the hospice’s wellbeing centre, The Orangery, this free event will provide a chance for unpaid carers to enjoy a relaxing brew and have an informal chat with other likeminded individuals of similar experiences.
There will also be a chance to meet with the hospice staff and answer any questions people may have regarding our services.
Carers Week 2025 is an annual event where we can highlight the vital role carers play in our society and in the Barnsley community in particular, and draw attention to how important caring is.
You can register your interest for the event by emailing rebecca.lambert@barnsley-hospice.org or diane.gledhill-cragg@barnsley-hospice.org
