OUR NEW PRESIDENT 2009 

Mr. Christopher Patterson

“My aim this year is to redouble our efforts to work in partnership with others to provide financial help where appropriate, care and befriending as needed, and support for good housing, which is so important in these difficult financial times.

I am delighted to lead the task, not only to raise funds for this purpose, but to advance the work of establishing links to deliver an improved quality of life for the less fortunate, frail and lonely elderly citizens of Greater Bristol.

As we head towards a long and deep recession this next year, we will indeed be living in times more uncertain than most and we need to seek out those people suffering hardship where we can discreetly provide the opportunity for them to live more rewarding lives”

On the 13th November 2008 Chris Patterson became the 240th President of the Society with the task of leading the Charity through 2009.

Chris is the Managing Director of Pattersons (Bristol) Limited, a very long established catering and hardware supplies company.  Pattersons is a family company with a long record of serving businesses in the Bristol area and beyond and Chris follows his father, a former President.

Every year during the two weeks before the anniversary of Edward Colston’s birthday on 13th November, the President collects money to enable the work of the Charity to continue.

The Society seek those people in need, often they are people who for reasons of age or frailty are difficult to reach.

Please contact the Society if help is required.
