BARNSLEY Hospice is searching for people to join its board of trustees.

A call has gone out for passionate and motivated people to join its team to help strengthen the board.

The charity, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, provides specialist compassionate care for people with progressive life-limiting illnesses while supporting people close to them.

Chief executive of Barnsley Hospice Julie Ferry said: “Specialist knowledge and experience would be beneficial, however, we welcome applications from any interested individuals, particularly those with a passion for the charity.

“Our board is committed to supporting our charitable aims and the new trustees will play an important role in ensuring the hospice remains accessible to those most in need of specialist care.”

The closing date for applications is Friday February 8 at 4.30pm and anyone wanting more information should contact Sue Cutler on 323621 or email sue.cutler@barnsley-hospice.org.
