Making a positive difference

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.

Your donations help support these people

There are many ways of staying active when you get older and walking football is one of them.

Back in February funding was awarded to Alfie.  Alfie has Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, a non-epileptic attack disorder and autistic spectrum disorder. He is unemployed and was very isolated as he was unable to get out of the house for spells of no more than an hour with his old wheelchair.
