COVID-19

The health and wellbeing of our residents, customers, tenants and staff are paramount. The Trust has taken steps to reduce the risk posed by Coronavirus. The Trust provides care to the over 65’s age group, and many of those individuals have co-morbidities that present an increased risk of ill health from COVID-19. In line with Government advice, the Trust has published a number of our policies and risk assessments below. If you have any queries relating to this information, please contact our senior team at admin@bgtrust.org or call us on 01206 543517.

  • "Go the extra mile for people they care for"

    Balkerne Gardens Trust staff and Managers, go the extra mile for the people they care for. I remember Irena bringing some beautiful dried flowers to my mother when she had respite care at Freda Gunton Lodge. These are flowers mum loved. The carer had understood what she cared about. This small act was so special to her….and to me.
