TrustFord Barnsley is proud to continue its ongoing partnership with Barnsley Hospice, further strengthening its support for the charity's vital work in the local community.

As part of this commitment, TrustFord Barnsley has offered the use of a New Ford Puma to the hospice for the next six months to help the fundraising team carry out essential activities more efficiently.

This follows the recent supply of a Transit Custom and a Luton Van from TrustFord, both of which are now playing an active role in the hospice’s day-to-day operations.

The Dealer Group is also hosting a special ‘Drive 4UR Community’ Test Drive event on Saturday, 10th May at Barnsley Hospice. For every short test drive taken during the event, Ford will donate £30 to the hospice. In addition, those test driving the Explorer will be able to enter a national competition to win the Explorer. The event provides a fantastic opportunity for the local community to support the hospice simply by getting behind the wheel of a New Ford Car or Van. Pre-booking is not essential, but you can register your interest here - www.trustford.co.uk/drive-4ur-community/.

Chris Maidens, General Manager of TrustFord Barnsley, said: “At TrustFord, we’re always looking for meaningful ways to give back to our local communities, and we truly value our partnership with Barnsley Hospice. Whether it’s through the donation of vehicles, financial support, or community events like Drive 4UR Community, we’re committed to helping them continue the incredible work they do every single day”.

In addition to the provision of vehicles, TrustFord Barnsley made a generous contribution in 2024 towards the procurement of an innovative device to help the Hospice deliver its outstanding care.

Martine Tune, CEO/Chief Nurse at Barnsley Hospice, added: “We are proud to have this new exciting partnership with TrustFord and are really grateful to host their Drive 4UR Community which can have a hugely positive impact on our finances. Hopefully the people of Barnsley will show their wonderful support by enjoying a free, short test-drive at the hospice in one of these lovely new vehicles and they’ll be helping us continue to deliver outstanding care to the community.
Our lovely new fleet of vehicles from TrustFord will not only help us in our daily operations, such as collecting and delivering from our Retail hub, and attending vital fundraising events, but they give us a real presence around the area, too.”
