Introducing The Maltings Kindness Fund
At The Maltings, we believe kindness lives here, and we’d like it to travel a little further into the community we’re proud to call home.
That’s why we’re launching The Maltings Community Kindness Fund: a quarterly £250 donation to a Bridlington group, project, or cause making life a little brighter for the people around them.
If you or someone you know runs a community focused group we’d love you or them to apply. Maybe it’s a toddler group that’s the highlight of someone’s week. A choir that lifts spirits. A lunch club, a litter pick, a befriending scheme, a community garden. Whatever it is, if it’s spreading kindness in Bridlington or the surrounding area, we’d love to hear about it.
Applications take around ten minutes. Tell us who you are, what you do, and what £250 would mean to your group. We’ll choose one cause each quarter, and we’ll share the stories of everyone who applies – because every act of kindness in our community deserves to be celebrated.
Apply here: https://forms.gle/YDLcg3tKtuRD7qBi6
Closing date for our first round: 5pm Friday 8th May 2026
The Maltings announces Charity Partnership with RNLI
At The Maltings, we believe that being part of a community means more than caring for the people within our walls. It means caring about the world beyond them too. That’s why we’re delighted to announce our charity partnership with the RNLI, the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, for the year ahead.
The RNLI is one of the UK’s most loved and most vital charities, saving lives at sea entirely through the generosity of volunteers and donors. What many people don’t realise is just how much it costs to keep those volunteers safe and ready. When Bob Taylor from the RNLI visited us for our opening event at The Maltings, he helped us understand the true investment behind every call-out — kitting out a single volunteer with the equipment they need costs £1600. That figure brought it home to all of us just how important fundraising support really is.
At The Maltings, we’re committed to doing our bit. Throughout the year, our residents, families, and team will be coming together for a variety of fundraising events right here at the home. From summer fetes and afternoon tea fundraisers to raffle draws, quiz nights, and sponsored activities, there’ll be plenty of opportunities to get involved, have fun, and make a real difference.
Our partnership got off to a wonderful start at The Maltings‘ opening celebration, where Bob presented Josh Fisher, Managing Director of Fisher Care Group, with some very special gifts for Josh’s young son: his very own miniature life jacket and an RNLI Lego set. It was a lovely moment that captured exactly the spirit we want to carry through everything we do this year.
“From the moment we opened our doors, we wanted The Maltings to be a home that gives back. The RNLI does incredible work — every single day, volunteers put themselves in harm’s way to save lives at sea, and they do it entirely off the back of public support. When Bob came to see us and explained what it costs to properly equip one volunteer, it really struck a chord with the whole team. We’re so proud to be supporting such a vital cause this year, and we can’t wait to get fundraising properly under way.”

The Maltings Care Home Celebrates Official Opening in Sewerby
Fisher Care Group celebrated the official opening of The Maltings Care Home in Sewerby last week, marking the family business’s expansion into East Yorkshire as it celebrates 40 years of caring for Yorkshire communities.
Charlie Dewhirst MP cut the ribbon on Friday 6 March at the £8 million, 59-bed luxury care home, which provides residential and dementia care in boutique surroundings featuring air-conditioned rooms, advanced Silver Shield care technology, and all-inclusive pricing unique to the Bridlington area.
“The Maltings represents everything our family believes care should be—treating people as individuals, with genuine kindness and dignity,” said Managing Director Josh Fisher, whose late father founded the business in 1986. “We’ve created a home that combines the latest care innovations with the warmth and personal attention that comes from being family-owned.”
The ceremony celebrated The Maltings’ partnership with the RNLI, the home’s nominated charity of the year. Bob Taylor from the RNLI gave an informative talk about the charity’s lifesaving work along the Yorkshire coast—a fitting connection for a care home situated near Bridlington’s beaches.
Guests were treated to a performance by Hooked on Harmony, with staff, local dignitaries, and community partners gathering to mark the opening.
Community celebration continued on Saturday
The celebrations continued on Saturday 7 March with a free family fun day featuring face painting, balloon modelling, birds of prey displays, furry animals, and tours of the new home.
The Maltings creates 100 jobs in the local area and introduces an innovative all-inclusive pricing model. A single weekly fee covers everything from care and accommodation to meals, activities, hairdressing, chiropody, and even wine with dinner—removing the worry of unexpected costs.
“We’ve built something genuinely special here,” said Care Home Manager Rob Hall, who brings 26 years of care experience to the role. “The Maltings sets new standards for what modern care can be—combining luxury surroundings with the personal touch and family values Fisher Care Group is known for.”
The facility was acquired as an abandoned shell building and completed with a full luxury fit-out. Fisher Care Group operates care homes in Whitby and Brighouse, including the 66-bed Bridge House and 51-bed Whitby Court.
The Maltings is offering a founding resident rate of £1,250 per week (fixed until April 2027) for the first ten residents—significantly below typical luxury care home rates in the region.
