Elizabeth Finn Care helps British or Irish people who are suffering the devastating effects of having too little money to pay for the things they really need. They give grants and information just when it’s needed most - when careers have been interrupted or ended through physical or mental problems, loss of work, family breakdown or old age.
Elizabeth Finn Care strives to safeguard people’s valuable education and experience, perhaps gained over many years, with a view to helping men and women return to the work place. But they also seek to help people who may never get a job again - those too ill or too old to find work - to cope with a life in poverty.
They work to provide practical and effective solutions after listening to each individual’s particular circumstances. This can include providing a weekly allowance to deal with the worry of not being able to pay the bills or buy fresh food. They also give special grants to replace essential household equipment or for building repairs. In some situations, if for some reason they are unable to offer financial help, they work to find an alternative source. Elizabeth Finn Care aims to reach as many people in need as it can and encourages them to come forward for help.
They also provide care and individual attention through contact with caseworkers and volunteer visitors. This enables beneficiaries – who may also lack supportive family or social networks – to feel valued and cared for once again.
A wholly owned subsidiary of Elizabeth Finn Care, Elizabeth Finn Homes Ltd, operates a group of 10 care homes in England and 10 almshouse cottages near Birmingham. Elizabeth Finn Care also has a partnership with Help The Aged to provide information to older people living at home.
