<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span><strong><span style="mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Why Elizabeth Finn Care?</span></span></span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span><span style="mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">My mother volunteers for Elizabeth Finn Care in Dorset – this is a national charity that gives direct financial and emotional support to individuals in need. </span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span><span style="mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">They help people who are struggling financially – most have been overcome by circumstances, such as family breakdown, redundancy, injury and physical or mental illness. </span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span><span style="mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">They also help those who find themselves struggling to survive in retirement or who are unable to return to work, due to a long term disability or sickness, to live with dignity, opportunity and choice. </span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span><span style="mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">In the UK and Ireland, there are 4 million adults who are eligible for their support.</span></span></span></p>
