Celebrating Founders Day

On 5th May we celebrated out second Founders Day, honouring the life and legacy of Elizabeth Finn.

Born in 1824 Elizabeth became a social entrepreneur and passionate humanitarian who devoted her life to supporting older people and those in financial hardship. Her legacy lives on in the compassionate care delivered across the portfolio of our Elizabeth Finn Homes and through our continued connection with the national charity Turn2us.  Elizabeth Finn Homes is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Turn2us which provides practical help to people who are struggling financially.

Staff and residents at the homes celebrated in a variety of ways with Victorian-style lunches, quizzes and a look back at the 1800s, sharing the Elizabeth Finn story and the long history that precedes the care provision.

Elizabeth’s belief in dignity, compassion and care continues to inspire everything we do today, shaping our commitment to truly person-centred care. Over a century on, we are proud to continue in her footsteps, providing care with the same compassion and purpose.
