St Barnabas Hospice to host the Excellence in Lincolnshire networking forum
You are warmly invited to join us for the launch of Excellence in Lincolnshire, a brand new networking forum which brings together individuals and organisations who have a mindset for excellence.
Where: St Barnabas Hospice Wellbeing Centre on Hawthorn Road, Lincoln LN2 4QX
When: Monday 3rd March 9.30am – 11.30am
LVET and St Barnabas Hospice have been working with Investors in Excellence to develop an exciting new Excellence in Lincolnshire programme – where enterprise, innovation, learning and development meet.
Judy Hart, Chief Executive of Investors in Excellence Group explains:
“The Excellence in Lincolnshire programme is not another administration-heavy burden that will turn off your teams and confuse your customers. It is a series of uncomplicated tools and modules to guide you at every stage of your journey, to help you deliver what matters most and your customised Framework for Excellence, based on the Investors in Excellence Standard.
We have been delivering the IiE Standard across the world for over 28 years. Having close associations with Lincolnshire, we will guide improving achievements through effective and efficient leadership, resourcing, and delivery to drive continuous improvement and recognition. Onwards and upwards, organisations will be taken through a series of performance levels, aiming for high performing as the norm. Ultimately, together we are creating a unique Centre For Excellence.”
Michelle Webb, Deputy Chief Executive at St Barnabas says:
“St Barnabas is pleased to be part of the journey, working collaboratively and championing Excellence for Lincolnshire to help organisations of all sizes and sectors demonstrate how they are pursuing excellence. The Excellence Framework, and the collaborative principles, aims to support leaders – be they Directors or Trustees, Staff or Volunteers – to understand how each part of their organisation’s activities contribute to being as good as they can be, and through the network to develop new partnerships and generate business opportunities.”
Paul Gutherson, Managing Director of LVET summarises:
“We want to create a forum that captures the imagination of voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise organisations as well as private and public sector organisations that want to demonstrate to funders, partners and customers how they are committed to excellence in all that they do, and importantly, that they know what excellence looks like and the steps they need to get there and to maintain it.”

Rebecca Franks awarded prestigious Queen’s Nurse title
We are thrilled to announce Rebecca Franks, Director of Patient Care at St Barnabas Hospice, has been awarded the coveted title of Queen’s Nurse (QN), by community nursing charity The Queen’s Nursing Institute (QNI).
Rebecca began her journey at St Barnabas Hospice in 2022 as Senior Clinical Services Manager, moving to Director of Patient Care in March 2023.
Within her current role, Rebecca is responsible for all clinical care delivered by the Hospice, alongside being the Lead Director for Safeguarding, Infection Prevention and Control and the Freedom to Speak Up initiative.
The title of Queen’s Nurse indicates a commitment to high standards of patient care, learning, and leadership within the community, and is awarded after a lengthy and competitive application process.
Rebecca says: “It was arduous! You’re asked about the work you’ve done, projects you’ve been involved with, and how you think you and community nursing should develop and progress. You need to provide recommendations and supporting statements from five peers for the award as well.”
Nurses who hold the title benefit from developmental workshops, bursaries, networking opportunities, and a shared professional identity.
Rebecca says: “Personally, it’s a lovely title to have. It makes you have a little bit of a glow around you – at the presentation they likened this to that Ready Brek glow. It’s great to get that recognition that you are a leader and an expert, and an experienced professional in community nursing.
“It opens up a lot of doors for community nurses to liaise with each other, share best practices, and work together in the future.”
Dr Crystal Oldman CBE, Chief Executive of the QNI, said: “On behalf of the QNI I would like to congratulate Rebecca and welcome her as a Queen’s Nurse. Queen’s Nurses serve as leaders and role models in community nursing, delivering high quality health care across the country. We look forward to working with Rebecca and all other new Queen’s Nurses who have received the title this year.”
Rebecca joins Kerry Gammons, Nurse Consultant and Tom Rose, Specialist Dementia Nurse Clinical Lead, at St Barnabas in receiving the prestigious title.
Discussing the benefit for St Barnabas, Rebecca says: “Because we have a very beautiful flagship building, when people in the community think of St Barnabas, they think of the Inpatient Unit in Lincoln. But proportionally, we see and care for ten times more patients out in the community, than we do in the Inpatient Unit. So, it’s raising the awareness and profile of the community nursing we do.”
Between 2023 – 2024, St Barnabas’ Community Nurses were involved in the triage and/or care of 3,430 patients throughout Lincolnshire, 227 patients were cared for in the Inpatient Unit in Lincoln and 140 patients were cared for in our Hospice in the Hospital in Grantham.
Our Hospice at Home nurses work 365 days a year to care for patients with a life-limiting and terminal illness within their own home. Dedicated members of the team can also support patients and families to access benefits, spiritual care, therapies, and counselling.
We are proud to have Rebecca leading our talented and compassionate team of clinicians. To find out more about the services that St Barnabas offers, please visit: https://stbarnabashospice.co.uk/services/
Suzanne Sheppard dedicates a light in memory of her beloved sister: “All the nurses got her smiling, even when she was at her lowest.”
“This Christmas will be another without my sister Caroline, but it warms my heart to know that we can still celebrate her remarkable life thanks to Light up a Life, where one of the symbolic lights on the Tree of Life will be shining brightly in memory of her.”
Suzanne Sheppard, originally from Grantham, lost her big sister Caroline in the summer of 2023, who she describes as a strong, independent and career-driven woman.
Caroline was the oldest of three sisters and ‘the boss’ of her entire family. She loved to spend time gardening and baking and was devoted to her husband and family.
Suzanne said: “My big sis particularly loved live music and enjoyed going to watch her favourite bands perform.”
For many years, Caroline experienced regular discomfort but after several tests, nothing was detected. Unfortunately further scans discovered tumours, and devastatingly, Caroline was diagnosed with terminal endometrial perinatal metastasis.
Suzanne continues: “Caroline’s cancer diagnosis turned our lives upside down. At the time she had only been married a couple of months.
“Initially she was treated with chemotherapy, followed by a hysterectomy with the hope of removing all the tumours. However, this was unsuccessful, and her treatment continued, with further chemotherapy and a number of clinical trials.”
At the very beginning of this journey, Caroline contacted St Barnabas, and both herself and her family began to benefit from their services.
Suzanne shares more about their experience: “Caroline had counselling sessions as well as Hospice at Home support. In particular, her nurse Majella was amazing and became a new strength for Caroline, and us, when times were tough.
“I was also able to receive counselling, which was amazing at providing me with a better outlook on some of the difficult questions I had.”
Sadly, even after further surgery, Caroline’s cancer spread to her lungs and liver.
Suzanne continues: “In June 2023, Caroline was admitted to the St Barnabas Inpatient Unit in Lincoln. I would describe it as a place of care with such a warm, homely vibe and a great cup of tea.
“The Hospice staff and volunteers were amazing. I remember one day when she was quite weak, a volunteer had her laughing, and it was so lovely to see. All the team got her smiling even when she was at her lowest. They treated her with so much dignity and respect.”
Unfortunately, Caroline’s condition didn’t improve and she died on Monday 3rd July, less than one week before her 51st birthday.
Suzanne said: “On the morning Caroline died, the Inpatient staff gave us the time and space we needed to be with her and gather our thoughts.
“They lit a candle for her and another lady who had passed, and I found such comfort from that alone. They looked after her in more ways than I could have ever imagined.”
This Christmas, St Barnabas Hospice invite you to dedicate a light on their Tree of Life and attend the Torchlight Procession on Tuesday 19th November.
“Our mother and I attended the Torchlight Procession last year, just before our first Christmas without Caroline. It was such a memorable event, and we found peace in sharing the experience with others who had lost a loved one.
“This Christmas, please join me in remembering your loved ones in a celebration of light. I am inviting you to dedicate your light for a loved one so they can shine brightly on St Barnabas Hospice’s beautiful Tree of Life outside Lincoln Cathedral.”
You can remember anyone with a light, not just those cared for by the Hospice. As a thank you and token for your loved one, St Barnabas will send you a personalised card and special tree decoration in the post.
Your donation for a light could pay for more people like Caroline, and her family, to receive specialist end-of-life care during the most difficult of times.
St Barnabas ‘Hospice in the Hospital’ celebrates 10-year anniversary of providing vital care to patients and families in Grantham
On Friday 6th September, St Barnabas Hospice hosted an intimate event to celebrate 10 years of their ‘Hospice in the Hospital’ service at Grantham and District Hospital.
Attendees included St Barnabas executives, trustees, volunteers and clinical staff, alongside members of the community who have been integral in supporting and fundraising for the charity’s services in Grantham and surrounding areas.
The intimate event, which took place at the Hospice in Grantham itself, was hosted to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the opening of the ward, which first opened on Monday 8th September 2014.
The first patient was admitted the following day, on Tuesday 9th September 2014, and since that time, nearly 1,500 patients have been admitted to the Hospice.
Lisa Roberts, Ward Manager at the Hospice in Grantham, said: “We have looked after so many families who all bring a different story with them. These stories are wonderful to hear and help tremendously in developing the connections we have with our patients.
“An overarching impression is that the Grantham Community have embraced the Hospice and support us extremely well, with donations of equipment and sometimes cake!
“We have a wonderful group of volunteers who are very dedicated and for some volunteers they have been supporting the Hospice nearly from the beginning.
“We have also been here to support our wider team at Grantham Hospital when their patients have required hospice care. Staff across the Hospital often “pop in” for a chat or for some support in times of need. This demonstrates the power of the Hospice and the supportive care we are able to give to the wider community.”
Attendees at the event were invited to reflect in the beautiful garden, which has and continues to provide a place of solace for patients and their families.
Alongside this, a dedicated volunteer, Nicki Johnson, whose mum was cared for on the ward, made and delivered homemade cakes for all to enjoy.
A special addition to the event included 10 engraved ironwork feathers in the garden of the Hospice, to represent each year that the ward has been open and providing care.
The feathers were originally part of the Hospice’s in-memory appeal ‘Feathers from Above’ which took place earlier in the year and honoured over 2,000 loved ones who are no longer with us.
St Barnabas Hospice Deputy CEO, Michelle Webb, gave an emotional speech at the event. She said: “On behalf of the Executive Board I would like to express our thanks for a decade of hard work, dedication, and compassionate care.
“Alongside Lisa and her remarkable team, I would like to extend that thanks to our volunteers and generous donors. Your contributions of time and resources have been invaluable, and without you, our work would not be possible.
“To mark this special occasion, we have placed 10 ironwork feathers in our garden, each engraved to symbolise the 10 years of care we’ve provided. I believe you’ll agree that this is a beautiful way to both commemorate our milestone and remember the patients we’ve had the privilege to care for over the past decade.”
St Barnabas Hospice would like to thank all who attended the event, and those who continue to support the Hospice in Grantham, and across the county.

St Barnabas Hospice Executives launch Environmental Sustainability Group in support of Organisational Strategy
In order to protect the future of hospice care and other health services, St Barnabas are aware that it is beneficial to consider the organisation’s environmental impact and how this can potentially be reduced.
As part of the Hospice’s Organisational Strategy, newly launched in 2024, one of the strategic priorities for St Barnabas is to remain sustainable and resilient for the people we care for, including that of environmental sustainability.
In line with this, St Barnabas now operate an Environmental Sustainability Group, encouraging staff across the organisation to meet bi-monthly and discuss progress towards meeting the above priority.
The group comprises of a wide range of staff from varying departments, including two Executives, St.John and Georgina, and Speciality Doctor, Carina, who is based at the Hospice’s Inpatient Unit in Lincoln.
St.John says: “Sustainability is crucial to St Barnabas as it aligns with our core values of care, compassion, and community responsibility.
“By adopting sustainable practices, we not only ensure a healthier environment for our patients, staff, and the wider community but also secure the long-term viability and efficiency of our services. This is in line with our strategic priority to remain sustainable and resilient for the people we care for.”
Georgina comments on the purpose of the group: “The Environmental Sustainability group is developing a strategy to reduce the carbon footprint of the Hospice and promote sustainability.
“The group hopes to achieve this by providing education and awareness through local campaigns and projects. This will include promotion of health and wellbeing initiatives, considering our use of resources, how we manage waste and how we deliver sustainable infrastructures.”
On Monday 8th July, St Barnabas Hospice supported Sustainability Day of Action and shared 7 simple ways to go green at work, with their staff!
- Switch lights off when leaving a room
- Turn radiator thermostat down if room is hot
- Separate waste and recycle responsibly
- Commute by foot, cycle or car-share where possible
- Use a reusable water bottle or coffee cup
- Share documents digitally and think before you print
- Host hybrid meetings and avoid long journeys
Although they may not all, always be possible or relevant to every staff member, volunteer, stakeholder or supporter, it is beneficial to keep these tips in mind.
CEO of St Barnabas Hospice visits Hospice at Home patient who says, “It’s nice to have somebody here”.
After a palliative cancer diagnosis, St Barnabas patient, John, was contacted by the charity and now receives visits and specialist care from their ‘Hospice at Home’ team.
The St Barnabas ‘Hospice at Home’ teams work across Lincolnshire to support patients and their families, to continue living with their diagnosis and plan for their future care.
John shares how he has been supported by the team: “After my diagnosis, St Barnabas got in touch with me and asked if I wanted anything to help me in the house.
“They put handrails on the stairs, I’ve got a chair in the bathroom which I can sit on, and it lowers me down, and I’ve got grab rails in the shower so that I don’t fall.
“They put in place things like that for me which are very, very helpful.”
Further to practical adjustments, the St Barnabas ‘Hospice at Home’ team have provided John with vital wellbeing support.
He says: “It’s nice to have somebody here to talk to. They come and have a chat with me, ask me how I am, and if there is anything they can do.
“When you’re on your own, it’s lonely, and you get a bit fed up at times, but I’m very happy with them and they’ve been very good to me”.
St Barnabas Chief Executive Officer Chris Wheway makes it a priority to accompany ‘Hospice at Home’ teams on their visits to patients in communities across Lincolnshire, every month.
On a recent visit, Chris was able to meet John.
Chris shares how visits like this impact the work of him, and his colleagues, at St Barnabas: “For me, it’s incredibly important that I know what every decision and meeting I go to is grounded in, and it’s grounded in the people we serve.
“Hospice at Home care is an incredibly powerful and vital service in Lincolnshire, where we meet people when they are at their most vulnerable.
“I love to come out and meet real people who are facing the real challenges of end-of-life care, just like John.”
Chris was accompanied on his visit to meet John by St Barnabas Health and Rehabilitation Support Worker, Julie.
She says: “When people are diagnosed with a palliative illness, it’s quite a devastating thing for that person.
“I think St Barnabas provide a brilliant service in making sure that person is living their best life.”
Last year, St Barnabas were involved in the triage or care of 3,340 people in their own homes.
The cost of caring for a patient, like John, in their own home for one hour, is £19.93.
To help St Barnabas staff, like Julie, care for more people, like John, please visit the St Barnabas Hospice website, and find out about all the ways you can get involved.
Warwick Davis shares how leaving a gift in your Will can support St Barnabas Hospice
Every day, St Barnabas Hospice are privileged to see the impact that legacy donors make on the services they provide to the people of Lincolnshire.
These remarkable gifts help to expand their services, set up new initiatives and support staff.
Since opening their doors to their first patient over 40 years ago, more than 100,000 people have received free, compassionate end-of-life care and support from the charity.
Warwick Davis, Patron and legator of St Barnabas Hospice, shares how with your help, the Hospice can keep caring for the Lincolnshire community for years to come.
Warwick said: “Hospice care is a vital part of countless lives, and no one appreciates that more than the patients and their families.
“You see how St Barnabas is there for them no matter what. That’s why some people choose to leave a gift in their will, to say thank you, after we’ve said goodbye.
“The gifts our friends leave in their wills, however big or small, help to keep our doors open and our care flowing.
“Even a small donation can make a huge difference to a patient or their family, when they need it most.”
Nobody understands that more than Ann Gregory, wife of Pete, a St Barnabas patient.
Pete was diagnosed with a grade four glioblastoma in April 2022. Pete, Ann and their family went on to receive care from a variety of services provided by St Barnabas, including Hospice at Home support.
Ann said: “Pete was 67 years old at the time of his diagnosis and his words to me were ‘I don’t want to know how I’m going to die’.
“The support from St Barnabas kept me going, I couldn’t have managed without them.
“From the physiotherapist to the people coming in to talk to Pete about what was going to happen, getting his respect form in and sorting out claims. They just knew what they were doing.”
Helen, Ann’s eldest sister, is another member of the family that has received support from St Barnabas. She said: “I’m not sure there are many other families out there that have received as much support from St Barnabas as we have.
“Sadly, a number of years ago my husband was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s. Approximately five years ago, my youngest sister was diagnosed with incurable secondary breast cancer and then, nearly two years ago, I was also diagnosed with incurable secondary breast cancer.
“We have all received so much support from St Barnabas and we are all so, so grateful.”
St Barnabas understand that leaving a legacy is a deeply personal choice. Wills are an important way of making sure your wishes are known, and that the things you have worked hard for during your life will go to the people and causes that you hold dear.
St Barnabas are able to help you with this and make it as simple as possible.
The Hospice run regular Free Will Cafés in their Wellbeing Centres across the county, where you can meet with a legal professional to gain guidance about making your Will. Find out more about the charity’s upcoming available appointments in Grantham and Lincoln.
Alternatively, there is the opportunity to use a free and simple online service with Octopus Legacy, or ask your solicitor to give you advice about leaving a gift in your Will to St Barnabas.
Warwick and Ann have supported St Barnabas in numerous ways. Now, both as legators of the Hospice pledging: “I have left a gift in my Will to St Barnabas.”
To find out more and give the gift of loving care, please visit the St Barnabas Hospice website, or contact the charity’s Legacy Advisors on 01522 540 300 or legacy@stbarnabashospice.co.uk.
Update; George Henderson Lodge, Gainsborough
St Barnabas Hospice has decided to permanently close the George Henderson Lodge in Gainsborough, which has been unused since 2019.
This decision comes after five years of successfully providing care to the Gainsborough area without the facility. Reopening the lodge would require over £200,000 in refurbishments and £60,000 annually for staffing and operating costs.
The funds from the sale of the property, which was part funded by George Henderson will support the current clinical care in the area.
The hospice’s executive team shared this news with local councillors, residents, volunteers, and supporters on Tuesday, 23rd July at Morton Village Hall.
Chris Wheway, CEO, expressed:
“We recognise that the decision to close the George Henderson Lodge may be disappointing for many. However, given the current financial challenges, this move is essential for ensuring that the Hospice can continue its mission of providing exceptional care to the community.
The COVID-19 pandemic significantly altered how we deliver care at the Hospice. Over the past few years, we have shifted to a model where we provide even more at home care, allowing us to visit and support hundreds of patients each year in the comfort of their own homes. This approach has proven to be effective and aligns with our commitment to patient-centred care.
The Gainsborough area remains as important for St Barnabas as it did. We are dedicated to maintaining our presence and impact in the community and are actively looking for the right retail unit in the area to further support our services.
I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has supported the George Henderson Lodge in Gainsborough over the years. Your contributions have been invaluable, and we appreciate the community’s engagement and feedback during the meeting last night. Thank you.”
