Help your community

Donate

At Balkerne Gardens Trust, home is more than just a place. It is comfort, companionship, dignity and care. It is the friendly faces, the welcoming spaces and the little moments of joy that mean so much every day.

Your kindness helps us protect and nurture our community.

As a not-for-profit organisation, every donation we receive is poured straight back into the services, facilities and care we provide. Your support helps us maintain the high standards our residents deserve, while also improving the spaces, experiences and touches of comfort that help people feel safe, valued and truly at home.

Impact Story: Home Entertainment Rooms

Two recent legacy gifts, given in appreciation of the care provided to much loved residents, enabled us to transform key areas within our homes. These thoughtful contributions funded dedicated home entertainment rooms at both Freda Gunton Lodge and Cheviot Nursing Home. With comfortable seating and large screens, these spaces have quickly become popular gathering places where residents can relax, socialise, and enjoy shared experiences.

Impact Story: The Joyce McIver Suite

A memorial donation made in honour of a cherished resident allowed us to create the Joyce McIver Suite at Cheviot Nursing Home. This peaceful bereavement room gives families privacy, comfort, and a quiet space to reflect during a difficult time, an invaluable resource for loved ones when they need it most.
