“My Father-in-Law has been a member for years and highly recommends joining. I took out a Bond but I am surprised it is not possible to check balance/status etc. via an online account. Seems rather old fashioned for 2021.”

“Great way to save for the future, also if you find you need a helping hand, the company has a range of grants you can apply for. The grants do not need to be paid back and helps a lot, I have used the service twice and has helped me.”

“I can't find anywhere that I can log on to my account to see what's happening with my money. I have an ISA account with another Friendly Society and it lets me log-on to see my account.”

“My family and I have had savings plans for years with the Foresters and I have just opened a new ISA. The Foresters Friendly is a fantastic society. We have received great bonuses. education grants etc. and have enjoyed the social activities of my local court. I can't recommend them highly enough!”

“From the day of my application to become a Member into the Friendly Society I have received a kind welcome normal letter from the National office with my Member number and my Court. Soon after I wrote several emails to the National office (my favorite contact) asking them for more information but unfortunately I have not received a reply from them to date and I have not even been contacted by the local Court. I trust in this ancient and well organized Society,however I believe they should answer emails and not just phone calls.”
