Concord BNI Eastbourne raise over £1,200 for Chaseley’s 75th Anniversary Appeal

On a very wet Saturday morning, several members of Concord BNI Eastbourne embarked on a 10k sponsored walk along Eastbourne’s coast to raise vital funds for The Chaseley Trust’s 75th Anniversary Appeal. The morning saw them face heavy rain and strong winds until about half way through when the sun and blue sky made an appearance.

The team were welcomed back to Chaseley with cheers from some of the residents before heading home to dry out, happy with the £510 they had raised.  Click here to see photographs from the walk

In addition to the money raised through their sponsored walk, Concord won the inter-chapter challenge at the BNI Sussex mid-term awards last month, subsequently ‘winning’ a £700 donation to Chaseley.  Well done to everyone in the Concord chapter for your hard work and efforts to win Chaseley this wonderful prize, that will also go towards our 75th Anniversary Appeal.

Why fundraise for Chaseley?

Chaseley is an independent, charity-owned nursing home and our main source of funding comes from residents’ fees, which cover the cost of their care package and contributes to the daily running costs of the home.  Various commissioning bodies fund the majority of resident care packages and we have just 5% surplus to fund all our additional costs, including the upkeep of our beautiful building, upgrading our equipment, and to provide the extra social and recreational activities and services that enhance the comfort and well-being of our residents, which is why we rely on donations and fundraising.

Fundraising Projects for 2023

2023 sees us embark on the second year of our 15 year plan enabling us to modernise, update and refresh our Chaseley home.  The planned works will ensure we can continue to deliver the best care possible to our residents for the next 75 years.

During 2023 we are looking to raise funds that will help us to complete the following:

  • Repair the final lift within the home
  • Repair and refresh 21 windows around our home
  • Repair some of the upper skylights
  • Replace some of the flooring
  • Complete the upgrade of all our bathroom facilities

The Chaseley building is a complicated one that has been altered and extended over many years and with a property of this size and complexity it is important to future plan any building works, including maintenance, repairs and improvements.  With your help, we are sure that throughout 2023 we will be able to raise the funds needed and ensure our residents continue to receive the excellent care they require, whilst living in a first class home that they deserve.
