Foresters for a healthy start

It’s great when an ethos and values are shared.  Foresters is an international financial services organisation which has operated in the UK, US and Canada for over 135 years.  We champion the well-being of families through quality life insurance, unique member benefits and inspiring community activities so we were delighted to work with the Wallace & Gromit Children’s Foundation to partner and launch “A Grand Day Out” with the Kennel Club at Crufts. Our members loved volunteering at the fun family dog-walking events and, taking the Foundation and Foresters to a whole new audience, the hundreds of families and four-legged friends that took part raised thousands of pounds for this worthwhile cause.
