Bamford Old Folks Fund, as it was originally called, was started on the 28th
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 activities. We still have an annual outing
and Christmas Dinner each year. Fund raising is on going. Our biggest fundraiser is the '100 Club', but we also raise money through various events during the year. We always appreciate donations from individuals and organisations and these are always
put to good use.
