Foresters Friendly Society

Welcome to Foresters! At Foresters, we’re here to improve our members lives. With no shareholders, our customers are at the heart of everything we do.

We’re a community- focused Friendly Society, dedicated to helping our members with our range of member benefits, including friendship, discretionary financial help, and social support. We take pride in helping our members, and we’ve been supporting families and their finances since 1834. The money we make goes back into making things better for our customers, also known as members. We do this by investing in customer service. We also provide a range of worthwhile member benefits, so if you're looking for support, fellowship, or a friendly place where you can get help with life’s challenges – you’ve found your place with us.

A home is more than four walls and a roof. It’s a feeling.

It’s the comfort of knowing you’re safe. The freedom to be yourself. The place where you make memories, put down roots and find joy in the everyday.

For our 2026/27 Annual Charity Appeal, we’re proud to support Shelter and their work to ensure everyone has not just a house, but a home, because home is everything.

We asked our members what home means to them:
- Home brings you joy and makes you who you are
- Home feels safe and full of love
- Home is being able to relax and truly be yourself
- Home is shelter from life’s storms

This year, please help us support Shelter in making this a reality for more people.

Donate to give everyone the chance to have somewhere that feels like home: https://hubs.la/Q04z7qnS0

10,000 steps. Every day in October. One amazing cause. 💚

We’re delighted to shine a spotlight on Foresters Member Liz Abbott, who is taking on an incredible challenge throughout October, walking 10,000 steps every day to raise donations for Shelter.

Liz’s efforts and all donations will allow Shelter to continue to defend the right to a safe home, supporting people who are facing homelessness and those living in unsafe and unfit housing. A huge thank you to Liz for taking the time to support a fantastic cause.

The support available through Foresters Care can make a real difference during life's most difficult moments.

One member recently shared:
“I have received a couple of phone calls from one of the nurses from RedArc. The nurse that I have spoken to has also been absolutely lovely, very kind, understanding and supportive. The kindness and compassion we have been shown during this extremely difficult and heartbreaking time is immeasurable.”

We're proud to provide services that help our members and their families navigate challenging times.
