About Friends of the Elderly
Friends of the Elderly is a Woking-based charity providing residential, nursing, dementia and respite care for older people. Its current care-home network covers seven locations across England, alongside day care services. Founded in 1905, it also provides grants to people over state pension age on low incomes across England and Wales, helping with essentials such as energy bills and household appliances.
The charity reinvests surplus funds in its services, buildings and staff development. Care plans reflect residents’ views, choices and needs, with families involved where residents consent. Its latest published accounts report an average employee headcount of 451 for the year ended March 2025.
Roles across the charity
Care delivery is supported by teams in housekeeping, maintenance, activities and management, as well as fundraising and operations. The charity combines work in its services with central functions supporting communications, marketing and charitable activities.
