The true worth of friendship isn’t realised in how friends fare when the sailing is smooth, it’s in how they help us weather through life’s storms too.
This is what we’ve been all about from our earliest days back in 1810 – when a pioneering group of workers came together in a pub in Salford, UK, to look at ways in which they could better support each other and the people around them.
We’ve a vast bank of care, welfare and wellbeing experience, as well as a wealth of knowledge about many statutory organisations, charities and volunteer groups. It’s experience we share freely with our members.
Whether it’s to talk over a care or welfare concern, or advice on how to access local support services – our experienced Care & Welfare team is ready to take your call.
