<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p>
<p>FIT, established as a charity in 1904, do terrific work for those who have worked in the furniture industry all their lives only to find, through changed circumstances, that they are living without support and in financial hardship.</p>
<p>As FIT say "<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: medium;">Poverty and ill-health can be just as devastating in 2011 as they were in 1904. The charity continues to make weekly grant payments as it did in 1904 to employees aged 60 years and over suffering hardship. We also provide one-off grants for people in crisis, as well as holidays and UK Respite Breaks.</span></p>
<p style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: medium;">We are extremely grateful for the letters and cards from the families FIT helps. These moving messages thank the charity for giving such practical and personal help at times of difficulty. The assistance we give is made possible through the generosity of donors past and present from the furnishing industry. We would like to say a special thank you to all our beneficiaries for their applications and for keeping in touch with us, and to our corporate and individual supporters for helping FIT to reach out to beneficiaries.'</p>
