Foresters Healthcare confirms continuity of cover for Guernsey and Jersey members.

Foresters Healthcare has today announced changes to the structure through which its healthcare insurance is delivered in Guernsey and Jersey.

The changes form part of a wider reorganisation of the Ancient Order of Foresters Friendly Society's insurance activities, although the Guernsey and Jersey healthcare insurance business is not part of the planned transfer of the Society's UK insurance business.

From 31 July 2026, healthcare insurance for policyholders in Guernsey and Jersey will be provided by a newly established, Guernsey based insurer, Foresters Healthcare Insurance Ltd.

For policyholders, the key message is continuity and reassurance:
• 𝐂𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐞 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐧𝐨 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐮𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧
• 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐲 𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐬, 𝐛𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐮𝐦𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐝
• 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐝𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬
• 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐦𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐫𝐮𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.

Importantly, the change does not affect members’ existing Foresters membership benefits, which will continue as normal.

Foresters Healthcare Insurance Ltd. forms part of a member-focused structure designed to reflect the Society’s long-standing mutual ethos. The insurer is owned through a Guernsey company limited by guarantee rather than by shareholders seeking dividends. From 2027, policyholders are expected to become members of that ownership structure, further aligning the organisation with the interests of those it serves.

John Wills, a Director of Foresters Healthcare, said: “This change is about putting our local policyholders first. By establishing a dedicated insurer in Guernsey, we are ensuring continuity of cover, maintaining local service, and creating a structure that supports affordable healthcare provision well into the future.”
