A Little Help - Order of the Druids

LoubyLou1977

Good Morning All,

I'm wondering if anyone can help or point me in the right direction at least.. I lost my Mum back in November and My dad has suddenly announced mum has some insurance policies to pay the Funeral fees, I've come across one for Order of Druids Friendly Society (Insurance Fund Bond Certificate) Dated 1985.

I Cant see on the Bank any More Payments go in (unlike the sunlife one) and I'm at a loss to find any info on it!
Its Got a Secretary name of Mark Schofield and an Office in Leeds with a phone number that doesn't exist.

I've Tried Sheffield Mutual and they say its not with them.. Its Not for masses of Money but everything would help towards the funeral Bill

Fingers Cross

Hello LougbyLou

Sorry to hear about your mom passing last month.

Have a look at Unity Mutual which mention they manage Druids Sheffield Friendly Society which sounds like it's probably the same?

I'm too new to post links yet so search google for unity mutual or remove the spaces below....

Condolences.

I believe the Sheffield Druids are a schismatic group (though so were the Druids above from the Ancient and United Order of Druids or whatever) - though if you're in Sheffield it'd be a strange coincidence and maybe that's a plan.

A number of other links which may help, though I've come up blank on a quick attempt.

The Leeds area code changed years ago - I presume you're dialling the new one (not that I'd expect it to connect to anything after all this time). I think from 0532 to 01132.

I wonder if the remaining druid organisations, might know - not them I'm almost certain but I bet this is a question they have been asked before. Not sure how you contact them - maybe like this https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/charity-search/-/charity-details/242967/contact-information
