Covid 19 Update – 26 March 2020
In light of the current situation and in keeping with government advice, as many of our office based staff as possible are now working from home. We are working hard to maintain our service levels with the new approach. We have a small team of staff still based in the office to ensure that we can continue to provide the usual service that members expect with regard to Claims. If you are unable to get through to our team, we use an external service provider who will take messages and forward them to us and our staff will call you back at the first available opportunity. We appreciate your patience at this time.
We feel it is important to provide our members and intermediaries with regular updates. If you have supplied us with an email address, you will have received email updates. If you haven’t registered an email with us, you can read the updates by clicking the links below.
Thank you for your continued support for the Society and our staff. Please, stay safe.

“I am very grateful for the Educational Award, which has helped fund my transport to college. Without this grant I would not be able to continue with my education, so the support received from Foresters Friendly Society has been invaluable. I would recommend any member studying in further education apply for the grant to give them a bit of extra help when they need it.”
Charlotte, Dorset
“The Foresters Support Fund grant was a big help as I had to take nine weeks off of work to recover from surgery and my family and I were struggling on limited funds. It was such a relief to receive the grant, which helped pay for my mortgage and cover costs of groceries.
Going through surgery was stressful enough, and at times we were worried we wouldn’t be able to manage financially, but thanks to the support Foresters Friendly Society provided, I didn’t need to worry about money and was able to focus on recovering.”
Stephen, Bradford
“By joining Foresters you’re not just becoming a member of the Society, you’re joining people who work in a positive way to reach out and help others in life.”
