Barchester's Charitable Foundation helps older people and other adults with a disability across England, Scotland & Wales. Grants are to help people lead more fulfilled lives and reach their full potential.
Their focus is on connecting or re-connecting people with others in their local community. They support applications that combat loneliness and enable people to be active and engaged.
They can help groups with:
- Activity projects
- Equipment and materials for use by members
- Member transport
- Day trips, outings and group holidays in the UK
Who can apply?
The fund helps small community groups and small local charities. They do not have a formal definition for a small charity, but as a guideline, if your reserves are over £100,000 it is unlikely to be funded.
How to apply
Apply online via the Foundation website.
