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.

Description

Who We Are

The Institute for Sustainable Communities (ISC), founded in 1991, is a climate organization with a mission to create equitable climate change solutions worldwide. We do this by forming collaborative, people-focused partnerships that support communities disproportionately impacted by the global climate crisis. For over 30 years, ISC has utilized a unique, bottom-up approach to ensure solutions emerge from within communities rather than being imposed outside. 

Through a deep understanding of and commitment to communities that are the least likely to cause global climate change yet face the highest impacts, ISC develops creative and inclusive solutions, demonstrated in our work in the US and Asia. We actively partner with frontline organizations, subnational governments, and the private sector to co-create programs that support underinvested communities, women, and people experiencing poverty who comprise the global majority. ISC remains cognizant of communities’ varying needs, and we tailor our approach to support those needs. We believe equity and inclusion are fundamental to building healthy, prosperous, and peaceful communities and are committed to furthering equitable climate action.  ISC is implementing programs in the U.S. and Asia.
