Hello

From supporting incredible causes to rethinking retirement, we’ve been sharing some great stories and insights on our blog this month. In this edition, we explore how your generosity has helped children without sight, uncover valuable leadership lessons from the hive, take a fresh look at the idea of ‘unretirement,’ and celebrate the restoration of a much-loved local church. Grab a cuppa and enjoy the latest from our team.


If you’ve had a recent experience or achieved a goal you’d like to share, we’d love to hear from you! Your stories inspire us—and might just inspire others too. Email Jenny at jenny.jervis@chestertonhouse.co.uk or reply to this email.

Helping to Protect Loughborough’s All Saints Church

We are delighted to announce that All Saints Church in Loughborough has received a £1,000 grant from the Chesterton House Foundation towards the much-needed restoration of the south roof.


Located just a stone’s throw from our offices, All Saints is not only a historic church but also a vibrant hub at the heart of our community. The trustees recognised the church’s vital role in providing space for local groups and bringing people together from all walks of life, making it a cause well worth supporting.
