Help secure a better future for older people

Many older people are isolated and have nowhere to turn for help and support. Often we are their last hope.

Going back over 100 years, Friends of the Elderly is one of the longest-running national charities dedicated to supporting older people. A gift in your Will can help us continue to provide this vital support for many more years to come.

Find more information on how a gift in your will could help transform the life of an older person in need.
