Who we are
Helping Women in the North East
Northern Ladies Annuity Society, established in 1868. We are a non-profit organisation dedicated to helping women over the age of 60 on a low income. We are a charity supporting single, widowed or divorced women living alone over 60 who have a connection to the North East of England.
If you have any questions or need further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us – our friendly staff, Susan & Maria are here to assist you.
How to Apply
A simple, personalised application process.
Our application process is made to be as straightforward and welcoming as the support we offer. We recognise that the idea of applying for assistance can feel daunting-especially when it involves complex forms. That is why we have developed a process that is personal, direct and tailored to each individual application.
No Online Forms: We deliberately avoid online applications. We believe that a personal conversation is the best way to start your application with us, ensuring that you feel heard and understood from the start.
Direct Contact: The first step to support begins with a simple conversation. Contact us by phone or if you prefer pop into our office, complete the initial application form. Once received our staff will arrange a visit to your home, if possible, (or you can pop into the office) just to have a friendly chat and to put you at ease whilst we complete a second form.
Our Continued Support
Once you become one of our annuities the support does not end there: we offer more than just financial help: We know it can be hard and lonely living on your own and we are always on the other end of the phone line for a friendly chat.
If you are in town shopping or just want some company, you can pop into the office for a chat with our staff – we always have coffee, tea and biscuits available.
Accommodation
We also have a range of 1–2-bedroom properties in Whitley Bay, Monkseaton or North Shields with an affordable rent, subject to availability.
General Grant
A general grant can be requested for several different reasons – contact office for further information.
Personal Contact
Our team is dedicated to offering direct, face-to-face support, ensuring you always feel heard and cared for.
Holiday Grants
Our modest holiday grants are designed to give you a well-deserved break, helping you relax and reconnect with loved ones.
A Community That Cares
We have three open days per year for our ladies to attend and get to know one another over a buffet and refreshments. It is a lovely day of fun and laughter.
You can just pop in for an hour or so or stop all day. We provide two newsletters per year giving you handy tips and recipes (any input would be more than welcome).
We also send a birthday card to all our ladies, and you can enjoy a Hamper at Christmas time.
