Helping older people and other adults with disabilities

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.

Geoff & the 100 Mile Mission



Starting on Monday 24th May and finishing on Friday 28th May, Geoff Pride and his merry ramblers plan to take on the North Downs; treking from Guildford in Surrey to Ashford in Kent a mere 5 days later - a 100 mile mission!

The Grand plan is to raise a whopping £5,000 for the Foundation - which will be matched £ for £ by the generous shareholders of Barchester Healthcare.
