What's happening and who we've helped
On Sunday 28 November, Wayne Hughes, Regional Director of Barchester Healthcare’s London Region, will lead a team of care home workers from his division on a 63 mile cycling tour around 10 Barchester care homes across North London to raise money for two worthy charities
Earlier this year we awarded funding towards a holiday at a caravan park for a young lady with a severe medical condition. Claire has Cystic Fibrosis and she also has significant learning difficulties.
In July this year we awarded £1,000 to The Widows Empowerment Trust, a Manchester based charity helping bereaved women to build their confidence and tackle loneliness following the loss of a partner.
