Little Sisters of the Poor
Bomonti, Istanbul, Turkey
The Little Sisters of the Poor have been resident at their location in Istanbul for many years, and have been providing shelter, respite and accommodation to the city’s elderly people who are homeless.
We have been supporting The Little Sisters since 1994 by providing products which they sell at their annual bazaars to raise funds, and via direct monthly funding towards their grocery costs to support and feed their residents.
“We are most grateful to Richard & Jacqui Anderson for their financial support in helping us feed those in need. May God bless them.”

'Your Place'
Barking, London, U.K.
Both Jacqui and Richard were born and grew up in east-London, and it was of great importance for our Foundation to support a charitable organization with deep connections to this area where we have enjoyed a long history. ‘Your Place’ reaches out to help homeless people get-off the streets, by both providing them initially with sheltered accommodation at their site in Barking, east-London, and then assisting them gain independence through work and longer-term rental accommodation. We support ‘Your Place’ through direct funding towards various projects which the management team believe to be important in their support for the homeless in the area.
Our first project with ‘Your Place’ was in June 2023, when we funded the manufacture and installation of a bike shelter for the residents
“Many of the hundreds of people we support each year use bicycles as their primary transport, to attend important appointments, training courses and employment. Being able to do so is very important to prepare for living independently, and to maintain one’s support network. We are therefore grateful to The Anderson Charitable Foundation for the financial support in helping us cover the cost of a new bike shelter for our residents.”
