About Us: Vision

Friends of the Elderly has been around for more than 100 years...we celebrated our centenary in 2005. The longevity of the organisation is in no small part thanks to the Vision and Values which provide our foundation.

Our Vision...
Our vision is that all people should retain their independence and dignity, choice and peace of mind in old age.

Our Mission...
Friends of the Elderly will support older people, particularly those in need due to frailty, isolation or lack of adequate resources.  

We will do this by providing high quality caring services, personalised to the needs of the individual, integrated with local communities and dedicated to promoting the independence, well-being, dignity and peace of mind of each person with whom we work.

Our Values...
We believe in:

  • The unique worth of each person at all times
  • The rights of the older person to the resources necessary to maintain a decent quality of life
  • The importance of holistic care and support
  • The value of community interaction
  • A consistently professional approach
  • Valuing people's passion and skills
