Charity becomes new player sponsors of George Waring and Ben Pearson.
We are pleased to announce that our new player sponsor for Reds new loan signing George Waring is Barnsley Hospice. George recently arrived on loan from Stoke and scored on his Barnsley debut in our last home fixture against Yeovil Town.
The Hospice is also confirmed as new player sponsor for Barnsley's new loan signing Ben Pearson. Ben arrived on loan from Manchester United and made also his debut in the Yeovil Town game, and was named Man of the Match.
Both player sponsorships have been donated by Barnsley Football Club in recognition of the fantastic work done by the Hospice for people in the local community. We hope that these two player sponsorships will help to highlight the incredible work done by the staff at Barnsley Hospice and raise much needed funds. Should either player leave the club before the end of the 2014/15 season, the sponsorship will be transferred to an alternate first team player.
Barnsley Hospice is a charity that provides specialist palliative care and support to hundreds of local people and their families each year. The Hospice’s main priority is to achieve the best possible quality of life for patients with a life limiting illness, whilst supporting their families, during the period of illness and bereavement. As a specialist care provider, the range of skills offered include, pain and symptom management, emotional support and end of life care.
It costs over £9,000 a day to run the hospice. £1.6m is gratefully received from the NHS each year, but the Hospice team have to raise over an additional £2m to stay open.
