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.
