St Barnabas Hospice is a local independent charity, each year supporting more than 12,000 people across Lincolnshire affected by a life-limiting or terminal illness. All services provided are free of charge to patients and their families. Participants supporting St Barnabas are asked to fundraise a minimum of £80 in sponsorship to raise essential funds for local Hospice care.
Ness Wilson, Fundraising Team Lead at St Barnabas Hospice, says: “We aim to enable patients to live as fully as they are able for however many days, weeks, or months they have left. We couldn’t do this without our wonderful supporters.
“We are so grateful to the thousands of people who participate in our numerous activities and fundraisers, remembering loved ones and raising money for our charity.”
St Barnabas needs to fundraise over £7 million each year to cover the cost of providing vital hospice care.
The cost of caring for a patient within their own home for an hour is £19.93. Every pound raised makes a real difference to patients and families within the local community, just like John, who is cared for by St Barnabas.

After a palliative cancer diagnosis, John receives visits and specialist care from St Barnabas’ ‘Hospice at Home’ team.
John shares how he has been supported by the team: “They put handrails on the stairs, I’ve got a chair in the bathroom which I can sit on, and it lowers me down, and I’ve got grab rails in the shower so that I don’t fall.
“They put in place things like that for me which are very, very helpful.”
Further to practical adjustments, the St Barnabas ‘Hospice at Home’ team has provided John with vital wellbeing support.
He says: “It’s nice to have somebody here to talk to. They come and have a chat with me, ask me how I am, and if there is anything they can do.”
Money raised through events like the Inflatable 5k helps the Hospice provide free, compassionate, dignified palliative and end-of-life care to over 12,000 adults each year, as well as wellbeing services such as bereavement support, counselling, and welfare and benefits advice.
