AFTER six years in their current location Barnsley Hospice’s Retail Hub will be making a short move.
Yesterday was the last day at unit 16 on Dodworth’s Fall Bank Industrial Estate before it reopens at unit one on Tuesday.
The hospice, based in Gawber was established in 1994 and has to fund two-thirds of its income a year to fund the care it provides.
Ross Fletcher, CEO and chief nurse at Barnsley Hospice, said that by continuing to support the Retail Hub at the new location customers will be ‘helping to make care possible’.
He added: “We want our hospice to be here for many years to come, but the reality is that to make this possible, we are constantly striving to find new and improved ways to generate income.
“The new premises mark an exciting new chapter for our Retail Hub, and every item bought or donated helps the hospice to support local families at some of their most difficult times.”
To celebrate the opening of the premises, a launch party will be held at the new unit on September 11.
