Care, Compassion and Dignity We are a charity providing specialist compassionate care and support to hundreds of local people and their families each year. Barnsley Hospice provides specialist palliative care and support to people with active, progressive and life-limiting illnesses which cannot be cured. These conditions include cancer, heart and lung diseases and neurological diseases such as Motor Neurone Disease and Parkinsons. Our care strives to improve the quality of life for patients and their families by providing pain and symptom relief; practical, emotional, spiritual and social support; counselling and bereavement support services. The hospice is not just a building it is a way of caring for people. With our support, patients are able to benefit from the best possible care throughout their illness and at the end of their life.
