BARNSLEY Hospice has marked 20 years since it opened its doors with the opening of its latest extension.
The £700,000 project, which has been mainly funded by the NHS, has created a new patient lounge and dining area, spiritual room and new treatment rooms.
Staff say this will enable the hospice to provide more care to patients and their families in Barnsley who have a life limiting illness.
The new extension was opened by the Deputy Lieutenant of South Yorkshire, Barry Eldred, the Mayor of Barnsley, Coun Tim Shepherd and Frank Carter.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
