Barchester Healthcare Foundation is continuing its 2016 priority to combat loneliness and engage older or disabled people.

They are accepting applications from small community groups and small local groups helping adults aged over 18 with mental and physical disabilities, and older people aged over 65.

Barchester’s Charitable Foundation is a registered charity based in London. It was created by Barchester Healthcare in 2000 to give something back to communities where the Barchester care homes operate.

The Foundation’s priority is continued from 2016: connecting or reconnecting people with others in their local community. Applications that combat loneliness and enable people to be active and engaged will receive the highest priority throughout the year.

Grants of between £100 and £5,000 are available to groups in England, Scotland and Wales. Applications can be submitted online at any time.
