Local care home Chater Lodge donates to food bank support

Staff and residents at Chater Lodge Care Home continue to support the Food Bank Second Helpings. The local Food Bank aims to fill bellies and not bins and also to help with the environment.

Over the past couple of weeks staff collected tinned items along with pasta, rice, breakfast cereals, tea and coffee as well as little extras including chocolates, and toiletries. The staff at Chater Lodge know their donations will be put to good use supporting a community.

Zoe Postgate, General Manager at Chater Lodge Care Home said: “Staff, and friends of the home all donated very generously and it really is heart-warming to see how much people care about helping others who are less fortunate. Thanks to everyone who contributed. It will all be distributed to where it is needed most within our community."

A resident at Chater Lodge care home who helped with the packing said, “I think it is marvellous what you all do here, you are all so very caring and I am so pleased I have been of some help to you with this”.

Our varied life enrichment programme keeps residents active, and provides a daily choice of engaging physical, mental and spiritual activities tailored to residents’ interests and abilities.

Chater Lodge care home is run by Barchester Healthcare, one of the UK’s largest care providers, which is committed to delivering personalised care across its care homes and hospitals. Chater Lodge provides residential care and dementia care from respite care to long term stays.
