Tom Rose awarded prestigious Queen’s Nurse title
We are delighted to announce Tom Rose, a St Barnabas Specialist Dementia Nurse, has been awarded the coveted title of Queen’s Nurse.
With over fifteen years of experience in the healthcare sector and a Master’s degree in Dementia Studies, Tom is a clinical nurse specialist in dementia care, providing one-to-one support, guidance and solutions to help families across Lincolnshire live more positively with dementia each day.
Tom works for St Barnabas as the clinical lead for the Admiral Nurse service, a collaboration between St Barnabas and Dementia UK to enable the best possible support to people living with dementia, their families, friends, and carers.
The title of Queen’s Nurse is only awarded to those with a high level of outstanding commitment to patient care and nursing practice. The application process is extremely competitive and includes a lengthy submission, along with recommendations from two clients the candidate has worked with.
Tom says: “It’s a great honour and privilege to receive this recognition. It isn’t something that I ever thought I would be in a position to achieve. My role as an Admiral Nurse has been fantastic, with support from St Barnabas and Dementia UK to both champion and develop nurse leaders and support the development of dementia services in Lincolnshire.
“I see this award as another step on a journey, not an endpoint. My aim is to continue to learn, to support others in their development and to continue to act as an advocate for those families affected by dementia in Lincolnshire each day.
“I would like to thank the people who supported my application for Queen’s Nurse, as well as colleagues and family who encouraged me to apply.”
Interestingly, Tom never intended to go into the healthcare sector. He studied physics at university and took on a job in a local care home after graduation, which he envisioned would be temporary. Instead, he found the work so rewarding, he applied for mental health nurse training and never looked back.
Over the past decade and a half, Tom has made it his mission to support to those who need it, and he has primarily been working with older people in hospital and community settings.
He says: “It’s a cliché, but I couldn’t picture myself doing anything else now. I find people fascinating, and it’s a privilege to listen to people tell me about their lives and what’s most important to them and then work to support that.
“I’ve supported such a range of people from musicians to famers, homemakers, teachers, lawyers, people who are still covered under the Official Secrets Act, from those who are very affluent to those who struggle financially all their lives. They are people from all walks of life and places of birth.
“Dementia doesn’t discriminate but the core of my job has always been to support the person, not the disease.”

Supporters rock and roll the night away to support Hospice
On Saturday 22nd October, The Mayfair Club in Louth held an annual Rock & Roll Dance in memory of local resident Andy Mumby, who was cared for by St Barnabas in the last days of his life.
Andy’s sister Karen Jaines has been organising this event for nine years, and in that time the annual event has raised over £25,000 for various cancer charities, with the majority donated to St Barnabas Hospice as the Dance’s chosen main charity.
Karen says: “The Dance is always a fantastic night! It’s a great annual event supported by family, friends, and the local community.
“About 70 people came and enjoyed live music by local band Thee Un-named and took part in our raffle, auction, and games to raise money for St Barnabas. All proceeds of the night on the night came to £950.
”My dance teaching partner, and part of my fundraising team, Mike Knaggs and his wife Annette have recently celebrated their Golden Wedding anniversary and were gifted £680 which they have added to our fundraising total. That means that we have altogether raised a huge £1,630!
“Mike’s mother was actually one of the district nurses for St Barnabas in the old days, who drove the charity’s first steps into fundraising so he has a strong connection to the cause as well.
“We had such a great time on the night, and we are very proud of the total we have raised to support St Barnabas.”
Karen has been involved in other fundraising events for the Hospice as well, and even took the leap in a skydive challenge in memory of her brother.
In recent years, Covid restrictions did not hamper Karen and her friends’ enthusiasm for the Dance, instead organising a socially distanced Rock & Roll Stroll event in their driveways to continue the tradition.
Karen says: “The reason I’m supporting St Barnabas is because of the amazing care, support, and kindness the staff showed Andy and the whole family.
“In January 2012, Andy was diagnosed with cancer and was only 44 years old when he passed that October. He fought very hard to stay at home and the last few days of his life he was cared for by St Barnabas Hospice.
“The staff were amazing and took such great care of him, I remember a nurse staying with him all night on his first night in as he was so unsettled. I can’t thank the wonderful nurses enough for the care Andy received and the support my family received.
“My dad was unable to be with Andy at the end, but when he returned with me to deliver a donation a few months later the staff were wonderfully kind and showed him the room Andy was in. they talked about Andy and had remembered him as a person, not just a passing number. It meant the world to my dad and myself.
“If my fundraising can help others receive this amazing care, I will be for ever grateful.”
St Barnabas extend their heartfelt thanks to Karen, Mike, Annette and all the attendees of the Rock & Roll Dance.
For every £1 St Barnabas Hospice raises, 74p will go straight to delivering and improving our care and support, with the other 26p going towards generating future income.

The Lyon family, continuing Sharon’s legacy through the Tree of Life and dedicating a light in her memory
“Every member of staff showed love and care not just to Sharon but also to us as a family. Their kindness touched our hearts and really made the whole unbearable situation easier.”
It has been eleven years since we lost our sister, daughter, mum, and great friend Sharon. She lit up a room and her presence in our family is constantly missed. Christmas in particular, is always a lot quieter without her.
When Sharon was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, it was the worst news we could have imagined, and we will never know how she coped with it in such a brave and dignified way. She died only 4 weeks after her diagnosis, in St Barnabas Hospice on the 27th November 2011, aged just 42. 
The care she received was first class and nothing was too much trouble. Every member of staff showed love and care, not just to Sharon, but also to us as a family. Their kindness touched our hearts and really made the whole unbearable situation easier.
Sharon was a enormous Christmas fan, and she would buy the most hideous talking, walking musical toys that she could find! The presents that she bought for people had so much thought put into them, it was the highlight of Christmas waiting to see what she had bought. She truly loved the festive season and fully embraced the lovingly chaotic nature of a big family Christmas!
Our family business, S. Lyon & Son Haulage, has been involved in Light Up a Life and the Torchlight Procession for over a decade, supporting St Barnabas in transporting their Tree of Life from the field to Lincoln Cathedral. Each year the tree, with all its lights, brings comfort to people of all ages, which is why we continue to support the Hospice in this way.
This Christmas, please join us in remembering your loved ones in a celebration of light. We invite you to dedicate your light so those who have left us can shine brightly on St Barnabas Hospice’s
beautiful Tree of Life outside Lincoln Cathedral. A donation of £37.32 would cover the cost of one hour specialist nursing care at the hospice just like Sharon received.
The whole family take solace in the incredible care that Sharon received from St Barnabas during her stay in the Hospice for the last two weeks of her life. She loved watching the X-Factor, the
nurses always ensured it was on for her. The staff at the Hospice helped Sharon’s friends to paint her nails and when she wanted hot baths to ease her pain, it was never too much trouble. Even
when we got her home to have dinner with everyone, she asked to go back to the Hospice as this is where she felt safe.
A supporter of St Barnabas in the years before her passing, Sharon would organise a “guess the bear’s name” challenge at the S. Lyon & Son Haulage office, making sure all employees, family and friends participated.
Sharon had so much love for everyone – never judging and always kind. She also loved animals, especially cats and horses, but her greatest love was reserved for her children Jade and Millie, who she called Puppy and Moo! She was the kindest, most thoughtful person and was a true free spirit that didn’t follow the crowd.
Every year we dedicate a light to her, the anniversary of Sharon’s death is usually the same week as the Tree of Life is lit, it brings us comfort to know her light shines bright during this time.
Please join us in shining a light to remember someone special this Christmas. 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 and the opportunity to attend the breath-taking Torchlight Procession on 22nd November.
St Barnabas Hospice is celebrating its 40th year, supporting the people of Lincolnshire in their most difficult times. Their services are offered free of charge but to continue to deliver this outstanding care, they need to raise over £6million each year. Your donation will help St Barnabas to be there and provide the compassionate and dignified care to people like Sharon.
Sharon was comfortable and safe in the last weeks of her beautiful life, and we cannot thank the St Barnabas nurses and staff enough. We know she would have been so pleased that we continue to support the Hospice, as she took great pride in being part of the team to make the Tree of Life happen each year and it is our way of continuing her legacy.

Ruby cuts long locks for charity that looked after Grandad Ray
Eight-year-old Ruby Reynolds recently braved a haircut of her beautiful long hair to raise money for St Barnabas Hospice to thank the nurses for looking after her grandfather Ray during the last weeks of his life.
She donated £230 to the Hospice so it may continue to support patients who need compassionate, dignified palliative and end-of-life care.
Ray Nicholson was diagnosed with cancer in March 2016 and died just over a month later in his own home, surrounded by his loving family. Ruby was only two years old at the time but often speaks of her grandfather and wanted to thank the nurses who looked after him. 
Ruby decided to grow her hair long during the first lockdown to eventually cut it for charity and had been planning the haircut for over two years before finally getting her long-awaited haircut on 24th September.
Ruby’s mother Lisa says: “Ruby was really excited about having ‘a bob with bangs’. A hairdresser at our usual salon cut her hair free of charge as it was for such a good cause. As soon as they made the first cut, she was just smiling!
“She donated the hair to The Little Princess Trust so has made every effort to help as many people as possible. Because we live in Sheffield, Ruby donated half of the donations to a hospice here that looked after her father’s uncle when he died. In total she raised £470, and I couldn’t be prouder. This has also earned her a charity badge at Brownies!”
Lisa remembers her father Ray as a quiet family man, who enjoyed watching motor racing on TV and worked until he got ill at the age of 72. In March 2016, Ray went into Louth hospital with breathlessness where he was diagnosed with Primary Metastatic Lung Cancer that had spread to his bones.
Lisa says: “Dad came home after a week in hospital and was cared for by my mum and the nurses at St Barnabas along with Marie Curie nurses if we needed them during the night. Dad sadly passed away on 25th April 2016.
“The care that my dad and my family received was amazing, they cared for him with dignity. He was a very proud man and would have hated any fuss. They not only cared for my dad and kept him comfortable, but they also looked after my Mum and even came to see her after my dad had passed away to make sure that she was OK and offered lots of aftercare. We would not have got through it without them.
“The day they told us that dad only had a few hours left to live was handled very delicately. We trusted that he was always in the best possible hands – all we could have wanted.”
To honour her dad and support Ruby, Lisa took on a challenge of her own, running the Sheffield 10k on 25th September, one day after Ruby’s haircut.
On this achievement, Lisa says: “I hardly trained and had Covid two weeks before, so it was a tough challenge. My chest was very painful, and I didn’t think I could do it, but I did – for Ruby and for my dad. I saw my family at the finish line and there were lots of tears to know that we had achieved something amazing!”
Thank you, Ruby and Lisa, for your kind donation to St Barnabas Hospice, which supports over 12,000 people living with a life-limiting or terminal illness, their families, and carers across Lincolnshire each year.

“I’m not ready to come to the party yet!”
Celia Wilson recalls her positive experience with St Barnabas Hospice who cared for her mother Connie in the Inpatient Unit in Lincoln during the final week of her life.
Constance Veronica Stenton (Connie) was Lincoln born and bred, with a loving and caring nature. Celia remembers her with a “silly sense of humour” and the two enjoyed good laughs, even when Connie was in chronic pain.
Connie looked after her husband, Celia’s father, from 1992 until he died in 1995 when he was ill – all the while she was suffering from cancer.
Celia says: “Mum was a very strong lady who always put her family first and loved us unconditionally. When I visited her house, I always went home with cakes, pies and sometimes marmalade that she had made. She enjoyed her beautiful cottage-style garden which was always full of gorgeous flowers and loved sitting out there in the sun with a cup of tea and a Cathrine Cookson book.
“She fought cancer for 25 years and we were devastated when she told us that nothing more could be done for her. I had always had a very close relationship with her, so it hit me really hard. My sister-in-law Pam nursed Mum for some months before she went to the St Barnabas Inpatient Unit, it meant so much to me that she would do that while I was unable to because of work commitments.
“Mum received excellent care from the amazing staff, I remember a nurse gently spoon-feeding Mum with raspberry ripple ice cream, which made Mum smile.
“9th October 1997 is the day she died at the age of 78. There had been a big bumble bee on the bed table that didn’t move at all until Mum took her last breath. Then, the bee flew once around the bed and out of the window. My sister-in-law and I both thought that Dad had come back to collect her. Dad died two years before and in her last few days Mum kept saying “I’m not ready to come to the party yet!”
“There was a nurse in the room with us and she was so kind and understanding. The staff always had the time to make us feel comforted in our difficult time, which really helped us.
“It has now been 25 years and I still miss Mum, but I know she was looked after well by caring staff who did their very best to make her comfortable before she joined Dad.”
The St Barnabas Hospice on Nettleham Road in Lincoln is currently closed for refurbishment and is set to reopen for patients in November. Our Inpatient Units in Lincoln and Grantham help around 300 people needing end-of-life care each year, with £37.32 covering the cost of one hour of specialist inpatient care.
If you are able to donate and support the Hospice in its mission to keep delivering dignified, compassionate care to those who need it in your community, please make a donation via our website: https://stbarnabashospice.co.uk/donate/
For every £1 we raise, 74p goes towards delivering and improving the care we provide. The other 26p goes towards generating future income.
Upcoming HeART Trail supports heart patients like Lisa
Lisa Hartley from Spalding has heart failure and has been receiving support from St Barnabas Hospice since 2020.
After a longstanding spinal injury, Lisa suffered from a heart attack, meningitis, a brain swell, and she contracted sepsis twice over the course of two years. All these issues combined gave her chronic heart failure, leaving her bedridden.
Whilst in the hospital, Lisa received the devastating news that she only had 48 hours left to live. Against all odds, her condition improved enough for her to be out of immediate danger, but her doctors told her that there was nothing more they could do for her.
However, her heart nurse suggested Lisa get in touch with St Barnabas for support in early 2020. The decision to accept this suggestion has changed her life drastically.
Lisa says: “I was given 48 hours to live but instead, I walked out of the hospital two weeks later to a home that I didn’t think I would see again.
“St Barnabas gives me medical care, as well as counselling on a weekly basis, and help with my mobility. Over the years, they have provided me with a powered wheelchair, a ramp for the house and other specialist furniture to improve my day-to-day. I was even given advice on improving my family’s financial situation, which had been worrying me further.”
A true animal-lover, Lisa owns three horses including 26-year-old Monty, a stallion with the calm and sweet temperament of a dog, as well as a terminal heart condition like his owner. During her long battle with her condition, Lisa’s wish was to ride Monty again, after not being able to get in the saddle for over 18 months.
Lisa says: “It was through Zoe’s physio that I was able to get back to riding after being poorly for so long. She knew that my aim was to get back on Monty, and that’s what happened. It’s people like that, they don’t realise that the job they do gives so much back to others.
“Monty needs me to keep going, and I want to keep going. I’m not ready to give in yet!”
The upcoming HeART Trail, a heart-shaped sculpture art trail set to launch in summer 2023, raises awareness for St Barnabas Hospice and the care it provides to patients with heart conditions, like Lisa.
These beautiful “HeARTworks” can be enjoyed by the whole community, and the aim is to have 40 sculptures up and down the county – from the vibrant city of Lincoln across the rolling Wolds to the East Coast, and as far as our beautiful town of Stamford.
For St Barnabas to launch the Trail, £300,000 must be raised through sponsorship.
Lisa says: “There are so many local businesses that could possibly help this amazing charity that has been going for 40 years. I know money is tight for everybody but please give to a charity that gives so much to so many others.
“It would be fantastic to see a HeART appear in the Spalding area where I live, so I’d love for Spalding businesses and organisations to get involved.”
To find out more about the HeART Trail and become a sponsor, visit: www.stbarnabashospice.co.uk/hearttrail
Lisa says: “It’s now over two and a half years since I first got support from St Barnabas. It has not been an easy journey; I currently take 76 pills a day and my health and overall wellbeing change daily.
“But thanks to St Barnabas, I can visit Monty and my other horses regularly, look after them at the stables and ride when I feel well enough. It is through this care, that I can keep on being me.”
Original Baron donated to Inpatient Unit in Lincoln
Lincoln residents Lynda Quartey and Andrew Grimes have donated an original Baron, named Sir Walter, to St Barnabas Hospice to bring cheer to visitors to the Inpatient Unit on Nettleham Road in Lincoln.
They are donating the Baron as a thank-you to St Barnabas for caring for Lynda’s daughter Maria in the same Inpatient Unit in during the last month of her life. She died on 27th January 2015, after a battle with breast cancer aged 41.
The Inpatient Unit is currently closed for refurbishment and is set to reopen in November 2022, fully modernised and with many new features – including the donated Baron in the reception area.
Lynda and Andrew bought the Baron, hand painted by artist Mel Langton, at the official Lincoln Barons Charter auction in October 2015. The pair were drawn to its bright colours and theme of fashion and shopping, all of which reminded them of Maria who was kind and vivacious in life.
Lynda says: “Maria loved shopping; she would always be going into charity shops, including St Barnabas shops, to find great bargains and alter them to suit her personality and style. When asked where she had obtained an outfit from, Maria was always proud to say charity shops! She even had a feather boa, just like Sir Walter is wearing when she was out collecting with her friends for St Barnabas over many years.”
The Baron has been residing in Lynda and Andrew’s kitchen/diner ever since they won the auction, brightening up their home and reminding them of Maria every day.
About the care Maria received from St Barnabas, Andrew says: “Nothing was too much trouble for the staff, everything she needed was made available and the care was exceptional.”
Lynda adds: “The staff made sure that the whole time Maria was in the Hospice, she could be surrounded around the clock by close friends, which meant a lot to her and us too. Her funeral in Manchester saw people flying in from across the world, as she had made so many friends through her years of traveling.
“We are so grateful to St Barnabas for all they have done to support Maria, her friends and us as a family.”
The couple are looking to move out of Lincolnshire next year and wanted to donate the Baron to the charity which is very close to their hearts.
Lynda says: “Sir Walter needs to stay in Lincolnshire, and we’re very happy he will be greeting visitors to the Inpatient Unit in Lincoln when it reopens. This is where he belongs, and it’s where we said goodbye to Maria, so it is very fitting.”
Andrew comments: “If it makes just one person smile when they come through the doors during a difficult time of their life, then the Baron’s donation is all worth it.”
Thank you, Lynda and Andrew, for your generous donation. We have no doubt that Sir Walter will bring many smiles to staff, volunteers, patients, and their families when the Inpatient Unit reopens in November!
Care for a Cuppa in memory of Jenny Kenton
Aimee Furneaux and her family in Branston hosted a Care for a Cuppa fundraiser on Saturday 20th August, raising a whopping £1,230!
Aimee, her sister Faye, and their father Paul hosted the event for dozens of family members and friends, who enjoyed delicious cakes over tea, coffee and soft drinks, and helped raise vital funds for their local Hospice.
The event was in memory of Aimee and Faye’s mother Jenny Kenton, who was a patient at St Barnabas Hospice before her death in March 2022.
Aimee says: “The dignity, respect, love and care they showed mum during her final few days will never be forgotten. The amazing service they provide to the people of Lincolnshire must never be taken for granted and should be supported and protected at all costs.”
Care for a Cuppa is a new campaign by St Barnabas Hospice, which encourages supporters to put the kettle on and host their own coffee morning, to raise vital funds for the charity.
To find out more about Care for a Cuppa or to get started on hosting your own, click here.
For every pound raised for St Barnabas, 74p goes straight towards delivering, and improving the care and support the charity offers to over 12,000 people every year. The other 26p goes towards generating future income.
Secondary school teacher smashes fundraising goal for her children
On Friday 19th August, St Barnabas Hospice shared a story about patient Sam Pickersgill, a 47-year old mother of two with a progressive brain and leptomeningeal disease. Doctors sadly do not know how long she has left, but Sam knows what she wants to do with the time she has: Give her children great memories to treasure.
Sam started a GoFundMe, hoping to raise £1,000. On Thursday 25th August, that total stands over £4,700! A fantastic result thanks to the generosity of the community, and the number keeps going up.
On top of this, there have been offers from organisations and individuals to give Sam and her family a getaway holiday, as well as local equestrian centres offering Sam’s horse-obsessed daughter Hattie riding lessons. St Barnabas Hospice are also hoping to find an organisation who can help 10-year old Dominic with a football experience.
Sam is a much-loved secondary school teacher, who has inspired thousands of people in her community through her work. Many of the people who have donated on her GoFundMe or offered support via social media remember her fondly from their school days.
Former student Carly Young shares some memories of having Sam as a teacher: “In 2017 I moved schools to attend the Priory Witham Academy, where Sam was my Head of Year. I was previously told by every teacher that there was no chance of me getting anywhere. We bonded from the get-go and Sam made me believe in myself.
“I have so many great memories from school with Sam, my favourite has to be on sports day when I ran the 100m for my tutor group. Sam was at the finish line shouting my name and as I ran I just wanted to make her proud. For coming first place, Sam gave me a big hug and told me how proud she was of me.
“She even took time to write a reference for my university application, and bearing in mind it was the Christmas holidays she did it for me during her time off! I’m now going to be attending university studying mental health in September and that is all because of her showing me how to believe in myself.
“She wasn’t just my teacher, she saved my life and I wouldn’t be where I am today without her. Sam, I’ll always look at the moon for you.”
Another former student, Kaisha, says: “We would always call Sam ‘Mrs P’. She taught me through my later stages of science in year 10 and 11 and became my form tutor in year 12. Mrs P was such an amazing teacher, and made sure you were seen and heard, making sure you were okay.
“It’s amazing to see so many fellow former students support Sam. I think it says a lot about the kind of person Sam is and how much she means to us, even though most of us have been out of school for 5+ years.”
Sarah Baker (née Waby) also has great memories of Sam, saying: “I was taught by her from 2008 to 2013 and she made science so fun!
“She always made time to explain things and would get us all up and interacting to help us to fully understand certain topics. She helped us all so much through our GCSE’s too, making revision cards and packs all off her own back.
“Sam was such an approachable teacher and always found a way to make you laugh. She was one of the best teachers at Witham!”
If you can support Sam and her family, please visit her GoFundMe page: https://www.gofundme.com/f/give-my-children-something-to-look-forward-to.
Additionally, if you would like to support us to find ways to treat Dominic with anything football or Real Madrid related, please get in touch with St Barnabas Hospice via 01522 540 300 or by emailing [email protected]

City of Lincoln 10k runner Fiona: “Raising over £4,700 for St Barnabas is a very proud moment!”
One of Lincolnshire’s most popular charity road run events is back on Sunday 30th October 2022: the City of Lincoln 10k.
One participant of last year’s 10k is Fiona Brown, who ran in memory of her friend and neighbour Karen Chambers, who died in July 2020. Fiona had hoped to participate in the event that year but the run was cancelled due to the Covid pandemic, taking place on 31st October 2021 instead.
Fiona had already signed up for the 2020 Lincoln 10k but when she heard Karen’s terrible news, she decided to run in support of a charity of Karen’s choice. Karen and her husband Nick chose St Barnabas Hospice as they had been caring for Karen, and Fiona set up a JustGiving page with a target of £300.
In just three days Fiona managed to raise £1,000 and by the time she ran the 10k on rainy Sunday 31st October 2021, the total raised including GiftAid was a whopping £4702.18. Fiona ran the course with husband Chris and eldest son Declan, who she calls her ‘wingmen.’ 
Fiona says: “I can honestly say I loved every minute of it, despite the torrential rain! The bad weather did not put the crowds off from coming out to support us and for that I will always be grateful.
“It was an emotional day from start to finish and I think Karen would have been extremely proud of what we achieved. We have raised a massive amount of money in Karen’s memory for St Barnabas Hospice to help others, like they helped Karen and her family through such a difficult time.”
Fiona achieved a personal best, running the course in 1:17:20, after starting her training in June 2020. With the event now ten months in the past, she says she keeps up with her running but has not participated in any further charity races. However, Fiona says they if she does, she would support St Barnabas Hospice again.
After the race, Fiona said: “This journey has been a big part of my life for the last 16 months. We will all continue to keep Karen’s memory alive and remember her for the special, kind lady she was.
“Thank you everyone, from the bottom of my heart. To have raised over £4,700 for St Barnabas is a very proud moment for me!”
