Barnsley Hospice

TrustFord, the UK’s largest Ford dealer Group, has reaffirmed its commitment to the local community through a significant donation to Barnsley Hospice. The generous contribution is specifically directed toward the procurement of Biozoon Air, a groundbreaking device which will transform end-of-life care and service delivery within the hospice.

 

Chris Maidens (General Manager, TrustFord Barnsley) and Dean Rhymer (New Car Sales Manager, TrustFord Barnsley) took the opportunity to visit the Hospice and witness firsthand the incredible work being done by the dedicated staff.

During their visit, Chris and Dean had the privilege of experiencing the capabilities and impact of the Biozoon Air machine, gaining insight into how this revolutionary device will positively influence the lives of patients and their families.

Commenting on his visit, Chris said “It was an honour to visit Barnsley Hospice and see the remarkable dedication of the staff firsthand. Witnessing the potential of the Biozoon Air in enhancing the quality of care and comfort for patients reaffirms the importance of our contribution. At TrustFord we’re always looking for ways to give back to our local communities and we are proud to be part of enabling access to cutting-edge technology that will transform end-of-life care.”

Mel Butcher, Ward Sister at Barnsley Hospice added: “Taste can evoke strong memories and provide a lot of enjoyment for our patients, and we want to ensure everyone using our services can enjoy the flavour of their favourite drinks if, and when they choose. By using Biozoon, patients who are nil by mouth can safely enjoy the taste of everything from a cold can of Coke to orange juice without needing to swallow.

We are so grateful for the generosity of TrustFord, who have made this possible. With their support, we have been able to implement this additional way of helping patients live as well as possible.”
