The feeling’s mutual, putting members before profits

Supporting our members

More about us:

Gravesham Friendly has been supporting family finances since 1877

We are a mutual organisation which means we do not have any shareholders to pay and all profits are used to support members. We offer members an affordable and straightforward Sickness Benefit Plan that provides guaranteed financial support when they are unable to work through incapacity, illness or injury.
Our members also enjoy access to a wide range of discretionary member benefits to help cover medical, education and housing costs and access to exclusive money saving offers from well-known brands and retailers.

Membership Benefits

  • Sickness Payment

    £100 per week when you are unable to work.
  • Membership Benefits

    Up to £500 per year to spend on dental, optical, medical, maternity, hospitalisation, housing and education costs.
  • GF Extra

    Access to money saving shopping discounts and 24 hour health and wellbeing helpline.

Owned by you

When you take out membership with us you become a part owner of the Society, you can attend and vote at Annual General Meetings, and be part of the Society’s future.

The Society is financially strong and owns a large number of residential properties; these investment properties generate annual income ensuring we are able to pay discretionary member benefits consistently well.

The society is:

  • A member of the Association of Financial Mutuals
  • Authorised by the Prudential Regulation Authority and Regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulation Authority
  • A member of the Financial Services Compensation Scheme

How our members have benefited

Testimonial image

A friend recommended I considered joining, I’ve never looked back, it’s so good. Supportive by paying dental and optical claims, excellent service. Would I recommend becoming a member? Definitely! Yes.

10/10 for customer service and value for money. Just perfect.

Testimonial image

The financial sickness benefit support I received when I was hospitalised and unable to work was extremely helpful as I was self employed.
