Older PeopleBarchester’s Charitable Foundation is a registered charity that helps older people and other adults with disabilities.

Individuals, small community groups and small local charities can apply for grants of between £100 and £5,000 to help adults aged over 18 with mental and physical disabilities, and older people aged over 65.
