How has Foresters worked with Cash for Kids?

Foresters has partnered with Cash for Kids on several local projects since 2009, including the Christmas Toy Appeal, and helped to create the Cash for Kids Family Day in 2011.

Members of Foresters have attended events to donate toys to the Christmas campaign and were also involved with the sorting. In 2010, toys and cash of a value in excess of £1.5 million were collected and distributed, and went on to aid around 200,000 UK children.

Foresters recognises the importance of family well being, not only through financial stability, but also through family time, and that is why Foresters is so proud to be a National Partner and founding member of Family Day and why we really want to make a difference.

What is Foresters?

Foresters is an international financial services organisation which has operated in the UK, US and Canada for over 135 years. We are committed to understanding your financial needs and to offering products and membership benefits, which will assist you with your financial security and peace of mind. Our purpose is to enhance the well being of members and their families, and we measure our success not only by financial strength, but also by the positive impact we have on our members’ communities.

In the UK last year we supported more than 100 charities and raised over £3m for those charities and other community partners. Thousands of our members provided much needed volunteer hours to help communities throughout the country.

As an example, our work with Cash for Kids in their 2010 Christmas Toy Appeal helped 200,000 children to have a better Christmas and 600,000 toys and gifts were delivered to needy children. Our support for UK children’s hospices has helped these organisations to provide a range of services to nearly 10,000 families.

We don't have shareholders. Instead, we invest in our members, their families and the communities where they live. We champion the well-being of families through quality life insurance, unique member benefits and inspiring community activities. Foresters shares its financial strength with more than 835,000 members across North America and the United Kingdom.
