Celebrating life at Barchester

The Easter Bunny paid a special visit to the residents at Braeburn Lodge, bringing smiles all around! 

With a bag full of chocolate eggs and thoughtful Easter cards made by local children, it was a truly heart-warming day.

We were so pleased to be able to present a donation to our wonderful local Vicar Phil from St Peter and St Paul Church, Bishops Hull, following our Easter Raffle on Friday.

Thanks to the kindness and generosity of our residents, families, staff, and community, we were able to raise funds to give back and say a small thank you for all the support, time, and care they give to our home throughout the year.
 

Ahead of our annual Barchester Cook Off on the 30th April, we will be raising funds for the Barchester Charitable Foundation.

Our Ladies Day was a highlight, with residents dressing up in hats and enjoying a glass of prosecco together
