Friends
Provident Foundation
The Foundation
is a grant-making charity that is run by Trustees and is independent
of Friends Provident plc., and was established as part of
the demutualisation of Friends' Provident Life Office in 2001
and the flotation of Friends Provident plc.
As part
of their work to try to re-balance the financial services
market, Trustees wish to create conditions throughout the
UK under which access to appropriate financial services might
be permanently improved for those who are currently excluded,
particularly those on low incomes or otherwise vulnerable
to market failure.These services include banking, free debt
advice, savings and affordable credit.
The Foundation
has limited resources and will therefore only fund work that
will clearly make a strategic contribution to our goals. Please
note that this means that the Foundation will not be funding
work that only delivers financial inclusion services to individuals
or groups in local communities or only to defined communities
of interest.
