Alison Donaldson, managing director of Barchester’s North West and Midlands division, is taking part in the Barchester Charitable Foundation Cook Off 2026.
She will compete against other managing directors and executive team members in a culinary challenge to raise funds for the charity, which supports people living with disabilities and those in vulnerable circumstances through community grants.
Ms Donaldson said: “I absolutely love to cook and I am extremely competitive so when I was asked to take part in the Cook Off alongside my fellow MDs, I jumped at the chance.
“The Foundation is a very worthy cause so it is fantastic to think that our efforts will help so many people live better lives.”
The Barchester Charitable Foundation awarded £424,000 in 2025 alone, supporting 262 groups, charities and 123 individuals.
Tyisa Houghton, general manager of Hempton Field care home, said: “We are all so proud of Alison for taking part in this challenge, we know she will give it her absolute best shot.
“The Foundation is so close to all of our hearts and the Cook Off will raise vital funds to help so many people, we’re 100% behind her – MDs for the win.”
