Support Us

Our mission is "to make a difference to the lives of older people and other adults with a disability, supporting practical solutions that lead to increased personal independence, self-sufficiency and dignity". This would not be possible without the continued financial support of Barchester Healthcare's shareholders, residents and staff.

We are always in need of funding to respond positively to an increasing number of applications from older people and other adults with a mental or physical disability. We welcome all donations - large or small - and rest assured it will be put to excellent use in support of some of the most vulnerable people in our local communities.

Sometimes relatives of those cared for by Barchester Healthcare find that a donation to the Foundation meets their wish to acknowledge the help and support given to a loved one.

Barchester Bikers drive miles for money!

Jim Marr, Director of Care and Quality & Greg Swire, Operations Director

On Saturday 10th May Greg Swire, Operations Director, and Jim Marr, Director of Care and Quality, will be off to the USA on a gruelling 4-day tour of homes owned by Barchester’s sister company Trilogy.

The trip is a fantastic opportunity to unite with fellow staff and residents in the U.S whilst raising money for the Barchester Healthcare Foundation. Greg and Jim will be carrying a flag of friendship on their rented Harley Davidson’s, getting it signed at each facility they visit.
