Bamford Old Folks Fund, as it was originally called, was started on the 28^th December 1945.  The founder members were Rosie Edmond, Jessie Hickinson, Mr & Mrs Charlie King and Frank Poynton and with help from May Edwards, they organised events for the older folk in the village. 

 

The Fund changed its name to Bamford Senior Citizens in April 2002, but we are still trying to do the same.   We still have an annual outing and Christmas Dinner each year, send cards and flowers to people ill at home or in hospital and remember special birthdays and Golden Wedding anniversaries.  Fund raising is on going.  Our biggest fundraiser is the '100 Club', but we also raise money through various events during the year.  We are also sent donations from individuals and organisations and these are always gratefully received.
