Following the great success of the Barchester Cycle Tour over the past 4 years, we are delighted and excited to announce that 'Tour de Barchester' is back again. We will be cycling from Thurso to Glasgow between Tuesday the 19th and Friday 22nd of May covering around 200 miles and visiting 16 homes. We will be taking in Inverness, Aberdeen, Dundee and Edinburgh.

Barchester's Charitable Foundation https://www.bhcfoundation.org.uk does great work helping older and disabled adults to connect or re-connect with others in their local community. The Foundation celebrated 25 years with ‘record-breaking’ donations. The funds raised in 2025 enabled the charity to provide help to 262 small groups and charities, plus 123 individuals.

The vast majority of grants for disabled and older individuals are for mobility aids such as mobility scooters, electric wheelchairs and specialist walkers, enabling people to get out and about in their local community and to take part in social activities. This type of help can be transformative to people’s day-to-day life and wellbeing, as well as giving back independence and freedom. Grants to small community groups and local charities have been more varied, funding a broad range of activities, outings, transport, equipment and materials for older people and adults with disabilities and mental health challenges. The projects cover a very wide variety of social and educational activities such as arts and crafts, gardening, woodwork, exercise, yoga, music, sewing, theatre and dance.

Please show us your support by giving generously.
