The original idea for Friendly Societies (also called Mutual Societies) came from communities who pulled together to help each other. Because each person put in a small amount each week, they created a significant fund that could help those who encountered problems and were unable to work. Nowadays our Membership is across the UK, but the principle remains.
At Holloway Friendly, we care about our Members. We focus on improving the plans we offer, making the claims process easier for you, our Members Assistance Programme and ensuring our customer service is second to none, so that you feel part of the Holloway Friendly community.
You can find out about Friendly Societies at the Owned By You website.
We listen to you our Members, and develop solutions that work for you.
We work with you to decide what works best for you; including a step by step claims process and Member Assistance Programme.
In 2018 we paid 98% of claims.
