About us






















Formed in the 1920s we have a long history of providing services for retired Pilkington employees and their family members across the UK and overseas.

From our base in St Helens we support over 6,000 individuals, our welfare and community support services focus on supporting retired Pilkington employees and their families across the UK and beyond. We deliver a range of social prescribing activities which provide practical and emotional support, promote health and well-being and tackle social isolation.

We offer specialist services including personalised respite care for beneficiaries and members of the community who are over 60 in our purpose built respite facility Ruskin Lodge in St Helens. We also deliver dementia support through our Admiral Nurse programme.

Message from the Chair

As a former employee of Pilkington’s, I’ve been aware of, and involved with, the Pilkington Family Trust for 50 years. It’s a great privilege to lead an outstanding team in the vital work that they do to support our beneficiaries to maintain their independence in the community.

At this time of increasing pressures on social care we aim to bridge some gaps. From delivery of nutritious meals to hosting daytime companionship, from helplines to specialist support for those with dementia, our mission is to enhance the quality of life for our beneficiaries.

Looking ahead, we are excited about the opportunities that lie before us. We are committed to building on our successes and exploring new opportunities to better meet the needs of those we support.
