Leamington Spa care home presents £800 grant to local charity, Coventry All Saints
‘’We are delighted to receive this generous £800 donation from Barchester Charitable Foundation”
Cubbington Mill care home in Royal Leamington Spa recently presented local charity, Coventry All Saints, with a cheque for £800. The funds will go towards the cost of the charity's regular tea and chat social sessions for older people.
The grant has been awarded by Barchester’s Charitable Foundation, a charity that helps older people and adults with a disability or mental health conditions across England, Scotland and Wales by offering grants to help people connect or re-connect with others in their local community.
Cubbington Mill welcomed Rev. Pam Howell from Coventry All Saints to a gathering in the home’s garden to receive the cheque and celebrate being awarded the grant.
Rev. Pam Howell said: ‘’We are delighted to receive this generous £800 donation from Barchester Charitable Foundation. This wonderful support will help our Senior Snack and Chat group continue to provide cakes, refreshments and most importantly, a welcoming place for people to come together. Our Senior Snack and Chat is about so much more than sharing a cup of tea and a slice of cake, it is about community spirit, friendship and supporting one another. The group gives people an opportunity to meet, chat, laugh and enjoy each other’s company, helping to reduce loneliness and strengthen our local community. We are so grateful to Barchester Charitable Foundation for helping us continue this valuable work and for recognising the difference that a small act of kindness and support can make.”
Ula Beckford, Senior General Manager at Cubbington Mill, said: “We are always keen to show as much support as we can to local charities. All Saints Coventry provides a vital lifeline to older people in our area, helping to keep them connected and giving them an opportunity to socialise with their peers which is exactly what our Charitable Foundation was set up to support.’’
