125 Foundation

The 125 Foundation was established in 2015 to celebrate the Society’s 125th anniversary. The Foundation provides exclusive financial support to our Members, communities or causes that are close to their hearts.

A Member, or their Financial Adviser on their behalf, can apply for two types of awards:

• Individual awards are for the simple things that make a huge difference. You can nominate individuals close to you who may be suffering hardship and could benefit from financial support. This can be anything from money towards the cost of new household equipment or a short break to recuperate.

• Community awards are for driving forward the local projects and causes that you value and support. This could, for example, be money towards refurbishing the village hall to help set up a youth centre.

Please refer to our 125 Foundation Terms and Conditions for full details.

HOW TO APPLY

You or your Financial Adviser can apply using the Application Form or by emailing 125foundation@cirencester-friendly.co.uk.

CASE STUDY

Anne Davies and her family received extra financial support in 2023, when she suffered from a brain injury. Unable to drive and take her son to his Paralympic swimming training, we provided them with support that allowed them to access transport to and from training until Anne was once again fit to drive.
