Local care home presents cheque to local charity
Cookridge Court care home in Leeds recently presented ‘The Alphabet Collective’ with a cheque for £690. The Alphabet Collective holds weekly group sessions in Leeds, which aim to empower the social and emotional well-being of LGBTQIA+ people. It's a place to come to exchange knowledge on local services and opportunities, make new friends, hang out and have fun
The grant had been awarded by Barchester’s Charitable Foundation, a charity that helps older people and adults with a disability or mental health problems across England, Scotland and Wales by offering grants to help people connect or re-connect with others in their local community.
The care home welcomed Hannah Poklad, Youth and Community Worker and Co-Founder to a small gathering in the home to receive the cheque and celebrate being awarded the grant.
Karen Francis, General Manager at Cookridge Court Care Home, said: “We are always keen to show as much support as we can to local charities.”
