Member Benefits
Healthcare grants
Healthcare grants
The cost of everyday healthcare can add up. You may need some work done at the dentist or need an eye test and some new glasses. Our discretionary healthcare grants can help towards the cost of every day dental and optical care.
Financial Support for you
Financial Support for you
Sometimes life can try and trip us up. That’s where the Foresters Support fund can help. Discretionary grants are available to assist members of any age in times of hardship to assist with difficult times.
Educational Award grants
Educational Award grants
If you have children or grandchildren or are upskilling yourself, then you know how much higher education can cost. Our discretionary Educational Awards can provide grants for members aged 16 and over who are in further education and studying for a recognised qualification.
Convalescent grants
Convalescent grants
Our discretionary Convalescent grants assist members recuperating after short or long illnesses by providing a stay in a convalescent home.
Financial Support for Children
Financial Support for Children
As part of our benevolent approach, the Foresters Child Support fund was set up to commemorate members who died during the First World War. Today the Fund’s purpose is to provide financial assistance for children (up to and including the age of 19).
Help at Home grants
Help at Home grants
If you need help at home, covering the costs can be prohibitive. To support members, discretionary grants are available to contribute towards the cost of Help at Home domiciliary care.
Foresters Care
Working alongside the vastly experienced RedArc, Foresters Care has supported thousands of people through serious and long-term physical and mental illnesses, trauma, eldercare and bereavement, across all life stages. Assigning a Personal Nurse to each case, all of whom are highly experienced qualified nurses, this enables Foresters Care to provide tailored help by telephone according to our member’s requirements.
The same nurse provides long-term support giving important continuity. Your Personal Nurse can provide long-term advice and emotional support, can help you make the most of services offered by the NHS, specialist charities and social services. They can also arrange a second medical opinion so you can get the right diagnosis and treatment, and guide you through any post hospital care.
Foresters Care is provided by RedArc Assured Ltd, a personal nurse advice service.
To speak to Foresters Care, call 0800 276 1023, Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm.
