Your financial wellbeing

The financial wellness of our members and customers is important to us. We’re here to help you manage your money through all life’s milestones. And can help support you with any money worries or financial difficulties you may face.

We aim to help everyday families achieve their financial goals and make a lasting difference in their lives and communities - here's how we can help.

Our Financial Advisers and Customer Services teams are here to help


Did you know you can speak to someone for guidance on your finances, at no charge?

You can speak to a Foresters Financial Adviser to discuss your options if your circumstances were to change. As our advisers work solely for Foresters, we pay them so you don't have to. Discuss your options at your convenience, with video calls or face-to-face home visits.

Our Customer Services team can help update your Plan, premiums or contributions to best suit you, if your circumstances have changed.
