On August 3rd, Reji Joseph from Barchester Healthcare’s Middletown Grange care home in Hailey, near Witney will be tackling the UK’s highest mountain to raise money for Barchester’s Charitable Foundation.

At the beginning of this year we awarded funding to Caring Together in Woodhouse and Little London. They are a charity Neighbourhood Network Scheme based in Leeds. Our grant funded 46 sessions of exercise, which were Pilates and chair based exercises. 

In a change from their day jobs and proving themselves to be exceptionally good sports, the Managing Directors from Barchester Healthcare’s five divisions donned their aprons and got busy in the kitchen competing in Barchester’s first ever MD Cook Off.

Firstly, a huge thanks to everyone who supported Lauren and Suzi to reach the summit of Ben Nevis on 1st June. They ‘smashed’ their own targets and have raised well over £2,000, which is absolutely fantastic.

Huge congratulations to our amazing cyclists Colin Marsh and Jon Douglas who conquered the RideLondon-Essex 100 on 26th May. More than 20,000 amateur cyclists took part in this very challenging charity bike ride that looped from central London to Essex.

In June last year, we awarded funding to The Friends of Temple Newsam Park. They are a voluntary group that was formed in 1999. Over the last 22 years they have raised many tens of thousands of pounds to support projects in the park that have improved the facilities for visitors. 

At the beginning of the year we awarded funding to eighteen year old Nicole.

We are delighted to announce the appointment of a new trustee to our board; Sally Hale, who brings a wealth of experience from her exceptional career working in the field of social care.
