As we all know end of life care is something that has touched many families and is an extremely difficult time. The difference an end of life care team can make is phenomenal. The support they provide to not only their patients but also their families and loved ones is second to none.

Barnsley Hospice are a charity who provide specialist palliative and end of life care to local people. The care provided covers a wide range of conditions such as cancer, heart and lung diseases and various neurological diseases. The team at Barnsley Hospice pride themselves on being a safe haven for their patients with their multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals providing safe, effective and relevant care to each patient.

A little about us here at Best. We are a local solicitor firm who established roots in Sheffield in 2001 and have since expanded our offices to Barnsley and Stocksbridge. Our aim is to provide a professional, compassionate and accessible service to clients whenever the need arises. We have a team of expert legal advisors who specialise in Commercial and Residential property, Dispute Resolution, Criminal and Motoring Law, Employment, Wills and Probate, Personal Injury, Mental Health and Childcare and Family.

The team at Best are always looking for ways to assist our local charities and that is why our Barnsley branch have decided to take on the “Accumulator Challenge 2024” in support of Barnsley Hospice. The amazing team at Barnsley Hospice set the challenge every year, however, this year is extra special as it marks their 30th anniversary.

The challenge is simple – between 1st and 30th March each team has £30 to buy supplies in order to raise as much money as possible. To quote the hospice team “the more creative the better” which brings us to our idea – lets shave Ian’s head!!

Our Residential Conveyancer, Ian Carnley, has agreed to “Brave the Shave” and allow our resident looneys at the Barnsley office to cut his long flowing locks. For those who are not familiar with Ian, he currently sports a man bun so this is no mean feat!

We have decided to “Brave the Shave” on Friday 15th March 2024 at 3pm. On the day we will be offering cakes for a small donation alongside the big chop. Please feel free to come and join us at our Barnsley office (41-43 Church Street). I think you will all agree, Ian will need a bit of encouragement so the more the merrier.

Our aim is to make as much money as possible for this amazing cause and every little helps. Please donate as much as you can to help us achieve our target. Each donation made will be entered into a prize draw so please make sure to leave your name and contact information with your donation to enable us to contact you. The winner will be announced following Ian being scalped.
