M&S staff raise £20,000 for Barnsley Hospice
Staff at Marks & Spencer have shown their support for Barnsley Hospice by raising more than £20,000.
Over the past 12 months, the team at the Barnsley store have raised the money through customer donations for bag packing, in-store raffles and collections, and donating the 5p carrier bag levy.
They also used funding from the M&S ‘Spark Something Good’ campaign to go towards transforming the hospice garden.
Sam Silverwood, fund-raising manager at Barnsley Hospice, said: “We are extremely grateful for this generous donation from the team at M&S and for their hard work in supporting us over the last 12 months.
“We rely heavily on donations from businesses and community groups which either help towards our general running costs or fund specific projects and specialist equipment.”
Neil Ledgwidge, clothing and home section manager at the M&S Barnsley store, said: “We are delighted to present the hospice with a cheque for £20,000 which we hope will make a really big difference to patients and their families.
“We’d like to thank all our customers who supported our fund-raising efforts throughout the year – without their help it wouldn’t have been possible and we’re so pleased to have raised such a fantastic amount.”
The money raised from M&S will help the hospice provide specialist care for anyone in Barnsley with a life-limiting illness, including cancer, motor neurone disease and heart disease.
Donations from the Barnsley business community help the hospice raise the £2.2m it needs each year to care for patients and their families. A further £1.6m is provided by the NHS Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG).

MP calls for action on Barnsley social mobility figures
Stephanie Peacock, MP for Barnsley East, is calling for urgent action from the Government after recent figures revealed Barnsley has one of the lowest levels of social mobility in the country.
In their annual ‘State of the Nation’ report, the Social Mobility Commission described a stark postcode lottery for social mobility in Britain, identifying Barnsley as one of the worst areas in the country.
Whilst London is pulling away, the Commission found ‘coldspots’ for social mobility, including former industrial communities.
In areas of London such as Kensington and Chelsea, for instance, around 50 per cent of disadvantaged young people go on to university.
However, this figure falls to around 10 per cent in Barnsley, one of the lowest levels in the country.
Ms Peacock (pictured) commented: “These figures paint a damning picture of the appalling levels of social mobility inequality in the UK.
“A record of Tory failure has led to a stark postcode lottery, where the place you are born can determine your life chances.
“Children born here in Barnsley are simply not provided with the same opportunities in life as those lucky enough to be born in places like Chelsea and Kensington.
“This is unacceptable, and children should all have the chance to succeed in life no matter where they are born.
“I’m demanding urgent action from the Government to address this scandalous imbalance, and make sure every child in Barnsley is given the best opportunity to succeed.”
