Our hospice provides specialist palliative care for hundreds of local

people each year, completely free of charge. Specialist palliative care provides

help and support to people with life-limiting and serious progressive illnesses

such as cancer and heart disease.This care strives to improve the quality of life for

patients and their families by providing pain and symptom relief, spiritual and social

support from diagnosis to the end of life into bereavement. Each patient is recognised

and treated as an individual; in a warm and friendly environment. With our support

patients are able to enjoy the best possible

care throughout their illness and at the end

of their life.

Barnsley Hospice raises money through a

number of initiatives such as events like the

Midnight Walk and Light Up a Life, appeals, the

hospice lottery and income from our nine

charity shops; two of which are furniture

shops. An additional important source of

income is from supporters leaving a gift in

their will.This is a great way to ensure that

we can continue to make a difference to local people, not only now, but in years to

come, when we can be there to help future generations.

Bev Hewitt, Nurse Manager on the Inpatient Unit explained “It is estimated that

almost 30 million adults in the UK have not yet made a will. Doing so can give you

peace of mind that your loved ones are provided for and the knowledge that

your wishes will be carried out. If you feel able to leave Barnsley Hospice a

gift, it will help us to provide care for local people long into the future”.

Support isout there inhard times

For someone who has never organised a funeralbefore the prospect can seem quite daunting,

but funeral directors will treat families with dignity andcan help make the experience less stressful. They canadvise on the different types of ceremony, readings andmusic choices, contact the relevant church, cemetery orcrematorium, organise the clergy and arrange the dateand time of service

❝❝

When someone we love dies, wecan feel numb and confused, butthere are several important

arrangements that need to be made.Before proceeding with plans for the

funeral, the death will need to bereported within five days to the registeroffice in the town or city in which it hasoccurred, except where a death has beenreferred to the coroner. Who undertakesthe registration will depend uponwhether the death occurred at home or ina hospital.

It will take about half-an-hour toregister the death and you may need tomake an appointment beforehand.Medical certificates stating the cause ofdeath, the birth certificate, any marriageor civil partnership certificates and thedeceased’s NHS card should be takenalong. If a post-mortem is not being held,the registrar will issue a certificate forburial or cremation, the ‘green form’, anda certificate of registration of death,‘form BD8’.

When it comes to planning the funeralthe deceased may have left requests,making things that bit easier to arrange.However in some cases it is left to thosewho were closest to them to makedecisions.

One of the first things to consider ishow much the funeral will cost. Funeraland burial fees, such as the use of achapel for a service, or the actual chargefor burying the deceased, vary dependingon the local authority.

There are also costs for additionalservices, such as providing a coffin and

care of the deceased person before thefuneral, which are payable to the funeraldirector.

These costs can vary considerably fromone funeral director to another, so it’suseful to get more than one quote andcompare costs and services.

For someone who has never organised afuneral before the prospect can seemquite daunting, but funeral directors willtreat families with dignity and can helpmake the experience less stressful.

They can advise on the different typesof ceremony, readings and music choices,contact the relevant church, cemetery orcrematorium, organise the clergy andarrange the date and time of service.

The organiser will need to decidewhether to have flowers or donations to acharity and if they will want to hold awake after the service, which mayrequire room hire and caterers.

Another consideration will be to findout if the deceased left a will. This mightinclude instructions for the funeral inaddition to how they wish their propertyand possessions to be dealt with.

During the grief period it’s important toremember that everyone deals withbereavement in different ways and thereis support available for those who need it.

Practical help and advice is usuallyprovided by a solicitor, trusted religiouscounsellor, or social services, whilefamily and friends can provide thenecessary emotional support. Wheredepression is persistent, help from a GP,counsellor or specialist organisationssuch as the Samaritans may be required.

BBSS offers free confidential support from trained volunteers to

those who cannot come to terms with their bereavement. It is

available to adults, children and young people.

Coming to terms with the death of a loved one can be the most

difficult emotional challenge we will ever have to face. No one has

to face this alone. Not knowing what to expect or whether or not

your feelings are normal can cause added anxiety.

Those around you feel uncomfortable talking about your loss –

perhaps they are in pain too. It might help to speak to someone who

is not directly involved.

This service offers a space where feelings can be expressed without

upsetting those close to you, and, where you can talk about the way

you really feel in complete confidence.

NEWSLINES Employmentsite to stayundevelopedBy Mike Cottonmike.cotton@barnsley-chronicle.co.uk

PLANS to redevelop former industrialland at Pogmoor which were thrownout by the council have been dis-missed again on appeal to the plan-ning inspectorate.

Barnsley Council refused permis-sion for the mixed development atWest Road, which included housingalongside smaller employment uses,such as a care home, creche and some‘start-up’ business units.

The plans on land which includes aformer tip emerged last year, soonafter a controversial plan for a gypsyand traveller site had been with-drawn.

Developer Vicky Simpson has losther appeal. She said: “It is very disap-pointing.

“The site is now being advertised asa waste management station, as that’sthe only use it has planning permis-sion for at the moment.”

The site is designated for ‘employ-ment land’ and it was originallyrefused planning permission becausethe council wants to protect employ-ment sites.

Several other employment sites havepreviously been given planning per-mission for housing only, includingthe former Polar Ford site across therailway line from the Pogmoor site.

Miss Simpson said: “The council isnow saying that if they allow moresites to go for housing there will be ashortage of supply of employmentland.

“But this site has been vacant foreight years and our proposals includ-ed some employment uses.

“We thought it was a strong applica-tion.”

Barry Lowe, chairman of PogmoorArea Residents’ Association, said: “Ido think the majority of residentsdown there want to see somethinghappen with that land, because it is aneyesore.

“But I don’t think it will, for a longtime.

“In the meantime we’ve set up a sub-committee to look at what we can dodown there to improve matters, andwe’re going to look into some treeplanting.”

A council spokesman confirmed theloss of employment land, and the dan-ger of leaving a shortage of supply,was the main argument for refusal.

He added residential developmentcould add constraints to the existingbusinesses on West Road, and thatwhile the former Polar Ford site wasused for employment, it wasn’t desig-nated specifically for employmentland in the same way the West Roadsite is.

A MAN who went out to getsomething to eat on the first dayof a curfew has been jailed.

Gary Dickinson, 25, was alsonot indoors the following day,Barnsley Magistrates’ Courtwas told.

Stella Andrews, prosecutingfor the Probation Service, saidDickinson, who was sent toprison for 20 weeks, had alsocompleted just five-and-three-quarter hours out of 147 hoursof unpaid work.

Mrs Andrews said: “Mr Dick -inson violated his curfew justafter monitoring equipment wasfitted. He was not in on the fol-

lowing day. It seems he does nothave any regard for courtinstructions.”

She said Dickinson, of Cock -erham Lane, Honeywell, hadbeen sentenced for smackingsomeone in the face. She said hisvictim needed two stitches andhad some of his teeth loosened.Another sentence had beenimposed for four thefts fromAsda, Mrs Andrews said.

Julian Brook, defending, saidDickinson breached his curfewbecause he was short of moneyand needed food. He said hewent to a friend in New Lodge tobe fed because there was no one

else to turn to as he had fallenout with his family.

Mr Brook said Dickinson didnot turn up for unpaid workbecause he had been promised ajob as a water mains engineer.

The job depended on himattending a course. Dickinsonhad tried to explain this to a pro-bation officer supervising himbut the officer was not in.

Mr Brook said: “Mr Dickinsonthought a job would be the endof his financial problems. Heput human needs before courtorders.

“He tried to help himselfbecause he was tired of relying

on state benefits.“He is on the cusp of turning

over a new leaf and if he is givena chance this may well be theend of his offending.”

District Judge John Fostersaid: “You have manifestlyfailed to co-operate. One of theoffences you were sentenced forinvolved serious violence.

“Court orders are there to pun-ish people.

“Those who fail to co-operatewith them find themselves inthe position you are in today.”

Dickinson admitted breachingcommunity orders.

Going out for dinner lands curfew man in prison

A MAN sent a photo ofhis newly pierced peniswith the line ‘Big JohnBarnsley text me if youcan take me’, to thewrong woman, a courtwas told.

John ChristopherOrmston, 53, of Honey-well Street, Honeywell,had meant to send themessage to an ex-girl-friend who he was on‘friendly terms with’.

But he accidentally sentit to another woman withthe same Christian name,said Gus Kennedy,defending.

“This offence is obvi-ously an unusual offence.He fully accepts he sent itand it was obscene,” hesaid. He said Ormstonhad told his ex about thepiercings and she hadasked him to send a pho-tograph.

“By mistake he inputthe wrong name from thelist of contacts on hisphone. Clearly he regretsit, it was never his inten-tion this lady shouldreceive that photo.”

John Parry, presiding,adjourned the case forsentencing on March 8.

“In light of what I haveheard, a low to mediumlevel of community orderwould be appropriate inthis case,” he said.
