Jackie completed her very own Chaseley Church Challenge

To kick start #GladToCareWeek what better story to share than that of our wonderful Support Worker Jackie. Not only is Jackie a great colleague and a brilliant carer for our residents, but she is also someone who really cares and goes above and beyond.

On Saturday, she completed her South Downs Church Challenge, after she had to pull out of the South Downs Ultra just 3 weeks prior, due to back injury.

Jackie’s run took just over 8.5 hours and she covered 62km so that she could raise as much money as possible towards the purchase of an interactive Digital Activity table that can be used by all of our residents.

These interactive touch screen tables are a powerful ally in treating, and enhancing the lives of residents recovering from a stroke, or living with other advanced disabilities. They have over 1000 apps and functions and are really good for brain training, relaxation, creativity, exercise, communication, entertainment, sensory and hand eye co-ordination.

Each table costs £5,350 and so far Jackie has raised nearly £1,000. If you would like to sponsor Jackie you can still do so here: http://ow.ly/vkFq50JzOZL

Thank you Jackie, from everyone at Chaseley and we hope you know just how amazing you are. Here are some of Jackie’s pictures from her run with her dog Mimi on Saturday.

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.
