Friendly societies

A friendly society is a voluntary mutual organisation whose main purpose is to assist members (usually financially) during sickness, unemployment or retirement, and to provide life assurance.

These pages contain examples of good practice and links to the registration forms for friendly societies. 

The Noticeboard

 

* On this page we refer to both friendly societies and insurance companies as ‘insurers’ and to both members and policyholders as ‘customers’..
