The Rothesay Foundation's mission is to help secure and improve the quality of life for older people in need in the UK, enabling them to live their lives in a happy, safe and fulfilling way.
The Foundation was established by, and receives its funding from, Rothesay. It is, however, independent from Rothesay and is run by a Board of Trustees.
What we do
The Foundation focuses on tackling material deprivation in the pension-age population in the UK across four key areas:
- Housing – ensuring older people have a warm, comfortable home with working facilities.
- Social – helping older people to be able to have social interactions, such as travelling to see friends or family.
- Finance – supporting older people to pay their bills or unexpected costs, such as replacing essentials.
- Basic – providing essential services such as three healthy meals a day, access to a telephone or suitable clothing.
The Rothesay Foundation does so by partnering with charities and other organisations, taking an ‘active funding’ approach by providing financial donations and more.
How we support
- Expertise – our understanding of scaling organisations and programme delivery.
- Data & technology – to help our partners have the most up-to-date technology so that they can effectively manage their data and reach more people in need, more efficiently and with a wider range of services.
- Awareness & research – so that the issue of pension-age poverty in the UK is better understood.
- Measurement – to ensure the Foundation’s funding is having the highest amount of positive impact possible.
