Barchester’s Charitable Foundation is a registered charity that helps older people and adults with a disability across England, Scotland, Wales and Jersey. Our focus is about connecting or re-connecting people with others in their local community, and we support applications that combat loneliness and enable people to be active and engaged.

What's happening and who we've helped
Funding was awarded in May to Mark (Tigs), who suffers from complex PTSD and chronic pain which affects his entire body. He also suffers with chronic fatigue and migraines. He is unable to drive or work and is married with two young children.
Recently Carly Finch, who works as a Quality and Regulation Manager in the Barchester North Division, took a very brave decision.
We are delighted to announce the appointment of a new trustee to our board; Helen Hamblen, who brings a wealth of experience from her extensive work in the charity sector.
