Blackfriars Settlement

Who we are

At Blackfriars Settlement, we believe in enriching the lives of the elderly by providing more than just meals. We understand the importance of combating isolation and fostering a sense of community and belonging.

How: Through a variety of engaging activities and social groups tailored to their interests, we offer opportunities for our elderly community members to connect, learn, and thrive. Our dedicated volunteers provide companionship, support, and friendship, creating a warm and welcoming environment for all.

What: Join us in our mission to make a difference in the lives of the elderly. Whether you're leading an activity, serving a meal, or offering companionship, your contribution matters. Together, we can build a vibrant community where every senior feels valued, connected, and empowered.

Our culture and values

We value people as individuals, with their own needs and aspirations. We listen to the needs of individuals and the community.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

We believe that:

• Everyone has the right to improve their education, wealth and happiness.
   
• We are all equals and each of us own an equal share in this community. We recognise and respect difference and diversity.
   
• We gain trust and respect from other people by being honest, dedicated, hardworking, friendly and supportive.
   
• We encourage people in our community to join us as trustees, staff and volunteers. We are always looking for new ways to work and co-operate with other organisations.
   
• To deliver an excellent service we spend time improving our skills and developing new ones.

These values inspire us in all we do and with everyone we work with.
