Legacies look beyond today and help build the future for Friends of the Elderly. A gift in your Will helps secure a better future for the people in our care. Legacies have helped Friends of the Elderly establish and maintain vital services and support for frail and vulnerable older people. With half of our voluntary income deriving from Wills, legacies are essential to our ability to provide the care into the future.
Friends of the Elderly manage a Welfare and Grant Giving service for vulnerable older people in financial need. We provide one off or ongoing grants and we also supply items they might need. Currently the costs of some of the items we provide are:
Quilt, bedding and a set of pillows - £50
Washing machine - £250
Cooker, fridge and microwave - £500
New, secure front door - £750
Replace 4 rotten windows with new double-glazing - £1,000
Update central heating system providing heat and hot water - £2,500
Provide bathroom adaptations such as a level access shower - £5,000
