A BARNSLEY Hospice Christmas coffee morning raised nearly £2,000 for the charity.

To start the festive period, staff at the hospice in Gawber decided to host the early festive event and raised more than they could’ve imagined.

A spokesperson said: “We’d like to thank everybody for their donations which not only contributed to a special day, but helped raise vital funds to ensure our hospice’s services can continue for the people of Barnsley and their loved ones.”
