PATIENTS, staff and volunteers at Barnsley Hospice got their hands on the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy this week.

It was on show at the hospice throughout Tuesday and people were invited to have their photo taken with it in return for a donation.

Sam Silverwood, a hospice fundraiser, said: “We are very grateful to Barnsley FC for letting us have the trophy for a day. It has been a fantastic experience for patients, their families and fans who came to the hospice to see the cup.

“We are really proud to work with Barnsley FC and thankful for all the support they give to the hospice. We will all be cheering them on at the final on Sunday and wish them the best of luck.”
