Key takeaways

  • Your work is most likely to fit if it serves Barnsley Hospital's patients, staff or volunteers in one of its themes: hospital equipment, research, maternity and neonatal care, adult hospital care, or end-of-life care.
  • The charity does not make grants to individuals, so individuals should not apply, and its grants go to Barnsley Hospital NHS Foundation Trust or other institutions.
  • Its grant range is not stated, and the annual report shows £396,000 paid in its most recent year, so treat that as the only guide to scale and keep any request modest.
  • No application process is published, so contact the charity before you apply to confirm its approved documentation and who must sign it, and expect it to direct funds towards what patients and staff say is most needed.
