About the Friendly Society

Kingston Unity 'The Friendly Society' has provided savings and protection for its members since 1840. We are passionate about our mutual status and providing for the investment and protection needs of our members.

We are a thriving mutual organisation of 12,000 plus members. Our head office is in Wakefield, but we have members throughout Britain, and we run 15 local branches – mostly in the North of England but with outposts in Boston, Chelmsford and Stafford.

You’ll find Kingston Unity’s headquarters within half a mile of Junction 39 of the M1, in a very accesible position. .

Our address is: 9 Navigation Court, Calder Park, Wakefield, WF2 7BJ.

Our office is relatively low key and we don’t run a high-street style operation, but anyone – member or non-member – is welcome to drop by any time to discuss any matter to do with the Society, our products or our services.

You’ll find details of our range of savings, health, sickness and welfare services here on this website. If you buy any Kingston Unity product you automatically become a member of the Society, and of one of our 15 local branches. If you want to find out more about your nearest branch, please see ‘Branches’.

The website also contains useful documents and these can be accessed through the Document Library. You can also download 2009's Annual Report here.
