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

Clocking up the miles
We help with many different types of mobility equipment, specific to the needs and situation of each individual.

Off exploring
Mobility equipment is key to getting people living with a disability out and about in their local community and giving them independence.

Staying active
There are many ways of staying active when you get older and walking football is one of them.
Walking wheels providing freedom
Specialist equipment for disabled people provides freedom and independence for a long time to come.

Activities for older people
We provide funding for groups activities such as physical exercise, arts and crafts, flower arranging, music therapy and singing.

Green outdoor space
Outdoor space where people can get social, healthier and happier is more important now than ever.
What's happening and who we've helped

At the start of this year we awarded funding to Barefooted, a Northamptonshire based not for profit organisation that aims to support and transform people's health, wellbeing, and quality of life through the arts.

Funding was awarded to a women with a T12 complete spinal injury. Dawn needed funding towards the purchase of an electric assist off-road handcycle. Dawn's injury occurred in 1999 and having raised her family, she was looking for a new purpose.

In May, an intrepid team of Barchester Healthcare staff will be tackling the three highest peaks in the UK within 24 hours to raise money for Barchester’s Charitable Foundation.
