Welcome to Friends of the Elderly – Helping people live well in later life.

For over 100 years, Friends of the Elderly (FotE) has been helping older people. From providing Penny Dinners to World War I veterans to innovative dementia care, supporting older people is at the heart of what we do. We are also privileged to have been supported by the Royal Family for over 60 years; Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal is our patron. Her Royal Highness Princess Alexandra is the President of our charity.

Today, the association provides home and day care services for the elderly, as well as subsidies for seniors in financial difficulty. Our priority is to help older people live well in later life, whether they live in one of our care homes or we help them improve their lives at home by providing a grant.

If you have similar desires for the elderly, there are many ways to support us by donating and fundraising. It is through the generosity of our supporters that we are able to make a difference to the lives of so many older people across the UK.

Power and Climate Initiative

There is an urgent need to expand access to energy in Africa.
Access to reliable, affordable and sustainable energy is essential to drive economic growth and unlock development across the continent.
However, around 600 million people in sub-Saharan Africa live without access to electricity, or nearly 83% of the world’s unelectrified population.
This is unfair and counterproductive, not only to the lives and livelihoods of individuals, but also to the prosperity and stability of communities and entire countries. Mission 300 is an ambitious effort by the World Bank Group and the African Development Bank, with support from partners such as the Rockefeller Foundation, to connect 300 million people to electricity in sub-Saharan Africa by 2030. Mission 300 will accelerate the pace of electrification in sub-Saharan Africa by ensuring that the transition to more diverse and cleaner energy sources meets growing demand, drives economic growth, and creates jobs.
