The Foresters difference

At Foresters Financial we help everyday families achieve their long-term financial goals. But we’re more than an international financial services provider.

In 2019, Foresters provided over £3.34 million¹ towards community volunteer initiatives such as Care Packages, Community Beautification, Create & Construct, Meal Help, Volunteer Support, and Fun Family activities where our members can spend quality time with their families at no cost.

We also invested in the futures of others and provided more than £1.48 million in competitive scholarships for students in the United Kingdom, United States, and Canada.

Your member benefits

You are a member of Foresters if you hold an adult savings Plan, With-Profits Plan or a protection product with us. The Planholder (the child) of a Child Trust Fund or Junior ISA is a Foresters member.

Planholders aged 18 and above are full voting members of Foresters and are able to access a range of member benefits.

Get involved

The Foresters Community Grants programme allows members to organise and host their own local community volunteer activities and fun family events for other members to join, ranging from making up care packs to visiting amusement parks.

Scholarships

We believe that education and community are important. That’s why we award around £1.5 million every year in scholarships to our members, or their family. The scholarship selections are based on good grades and community volunteer involvement.

Learn about our Scholarship

We’re a mutual organisation

As a mutual organisation we don’t have shareholders, so any profit we make is used for your benefit. A mutual organisation is owned by its Planholders, these are customers that hold a Plan with us, known as members, and run for their benefit. So, unlike many financial services organisations, mutuals have no shareholders to pay so can give back to their members in the form of member benefits.

Our other member benefits

From your family to your future, Foresters has you covered. As part of our fraternal purpose, we offer our members a wide range of unique and complimentary benefits.²

Member Governance
