Pilgrims' Friend Society

Who we are

Pilgrims’ Friend Society provides residential care homes and independent living housing schemes where older people can live fulfilled lives in their later years.

Rooted in the Christian faith, we are committed to ensuring that the physical, emotional, spiritual and mental needs of each of our family members are met. Our family members are Christians or are sympathetic to the Christian faith.

Our culture and values

As well as providing secure comfortable homes and professional care for older people, we encourage and support them during their later years, helping them to contribute to the world around them and enjoy a fulfilling life.

At the heart of what we do are our values – what we think is important about the way we face the world, the actions we take and the work that we do.

This shared set of values that we have developed together will shape the culture of the organisation as we work hard across so many different locations. Whether in a care home, a housing scheme, or elsewhere these values will help guide the way we connect with people, the way we respond to those in our care, and the way we plan for the future.

These four values – compassion, community, transparency, and excellence – will help us continue deliver wonderful care and support for older people in the later years of their lives. I look forward to seeing how a culture built on these four things will help each one of us and those we care for flourish.
