🍫 Is one of your New Year's resolutions to eat healthier? Or perhaps you've got lots of spare chocolate lying around from Christmas? Why not donate it to the hospice where it can be used to create our Chocolate Bouquets and support the hospice this Easter?

@dave43law @LeeAndersonMP_ Probably a silly question but what’s wrong with his face?

Update. The two savages that did this to my constituent were let out of jail on the early Release Scheme. Guess what? They are both back inside prison. One has savagely beaten a woman black and blue. The other has threatened a woman and breached his bail conditions. These animals need locking up for life and @UKLabour need to rethink this early Release Scheme

Last week, Health Secretary Wes Streeting announced that £100m of additional funding would be allocated to hospices in England over the next two years. We're delighted with this news, which we hope is a positive step forward in achieving fairer, more sustainable hospice funding.

@BarnsleyFC @tommastersmusic As well as learning about our services at Barnsley Hospice, players and staff from the club spent time with everyone, getting to know what Barnsley Hospice means to our community and why our partnership with the Club brings so much joy to many.

Last week we had the honour of being invited to the unveiling of a memorial bench, dedicated to the much-loved councillor Charles Wraith MBE. ‘Charlie’, as he was known to those close to him, left an incredibly generous legacy gift of £20,000 to Barnsley Hospice.

A huge thank you to AmcoGiffen for inviting us to their event last week and officially handing over this wonderful van! This van has been kindly given to us by AmcoGiffen 💚

It’s Trans Day of Remembrance today, which can be a difficult and upsetting time. We know social media in particular can be a tough place to be for trans and non-binary people & their loved ones, especially on days like today. We’re here to listen and stand alongside you (1/3)

🎅 We'd like to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who kindly attended our Christmas Coffee Morning on Saturday. It was a wonderful event and amazing to see so many of our supporters coming out for some festive fun! In total, the event raised an amazing £1,800.78. 🧡

Around 15,700. That’s how many cases of cancer have been caused by smoking in the 100 days since the King’s Speech. With every day that goes by, that number continues to rise. @WesStreeting the UK Govt has committed to introduce legislation to raise the age of sale of tobacco, to help prevent future generations from taking up smoking. We urge you to bring this legislation to Parliament, and together let’s help end cancers caused by smoking.
