Caring Saturday’s: Shortage of Staff Halts Scheduled Outreach at Riverlee Residential Care Home
The planned Caring Saturdays outreach at Riverlee Residential and Nursing Care Home, originally scheduled for 30th May, has been postponed indefinitely due to an unforeseen shortage of staff at the facility.
While preparations were underway to bring moments of care, companionship, and joy to the residents, the management of the home advised that current staffing challenges would make it difficult to effectively host the event at this time.
We understand the importance of ensuring the well-being and comfort of residents, and we fully respect the decision made in their best interest. Although this postponement is disappointing, our commitment to serving and supporting the elderly community remains unwavering.
We look forward to rescheduling the outreach once circumstances improve and a suitable date is agreed upon. We sincerely appreciate the understanding, patience, and continued support of our volunteers, partners, and well-wishers.
Together, we remain committed to making a difference—one act of kindness at a time.

Caring Saturdays 2026: FEF Pushes Forward Amid Limited Care Home Responses in the UK
The Frugal Empowerment Foundation (FEF) has reaffirmed its commitment to the Caring Saturdays 2026 outreach programme, with plans to extend support to 12 care homes across the United Kingdom, despite ongoing challenges in securing consistent responses from care home management.
The initiative, which focuses on bringing companionship, encouragement, and community support to elderly residents, continues to face delays in confirmation from several targeted facilities. However, the Foundation has maintained that these challenges will not weaken its resolve to serve.
FEF noted that the goal remains to build meaningful connections with care homes and ensure that elderly residents experience moments of joy, dignity, and emotional support through volunteer-driven engagements.
While engagement with some care home management teams has been slow, the Foundation is actively exploring alternative channels, strengthening communications, and reaching out to new facilities in order to meet its 2026 target.
Speaking on the development, the Foundation reiterated that elderly care remains a core part of its humanitarian vision, and every effort will be made to ensure that no planned outreach is abandoned.
FEF is also calling on partners, volunteers, and social care stakeholders in the UK to support the initiative by facilitating access to care homes and helping bridge communication gaps that often limit community-based outreach programmes.
Despite the setbacks, the Foundation remains optimistic that Caring Saturdays 2026 will still deliver impactful moments of love, interaction, and support to elderly residents across multiple care homes.
“We remain committed to care, connection, and compassion—no matter the challenges.”

Inmate Skill Acquisition: FEF Plans Return Edition in Edo State
Building on the success of its 2025 outreach at the Ugbaja Correctional Centre, Edo State, Nigeria, the Frugal Empowerment Foundation (FEF) has announced plans for another Inmate Skill Acquisition Programme in Edo State.
The previous intervention focused on empowering inmates with practical vocational skills, particularly in soap making, aimed at promoting self-reliance, rehabilitation, and improved reintegration prospects after incarceration.
Following the positive feedback and impact recorded from the last edition, FEF is now preparing to return with an expanded version of the initiative, introducing additional skill sets designed to further support behavioural reform and economic empowerment within correctional facilities.
The Foundation emphasized that skill acquisition programmes remain a key pillar in its rehabilitation strategy, as they provide inmates with practical tools to rebuild their lives and contribute positively to society upon release.
FEF also expressed appreciation to stakeholders and correctional authorities who supported the success of the previous outreach and continues to seek collaboration for the upcoming edition to ensure greater reach and sustainability.
The upcoming programme is expected to strengthen the Foundation’s long-term vision of using empowerment as a tool for transformation, dignity restoration, and reduced recidivism.
“When people are empowered with skills, they are given a second chance to rebuild their future.”

Ebonyi State Skill Project: FEF Calls for Stronger Commitment as Soap Production Enters Next Phase
The Frugal Empowerment Foundation (FEF) has called for renewed commitment from volunteers and beneficiaries under its Ebonyi State Skill Acquisition Project, as the initiative moves into a new phase focused on mass production of soap and detergent.
This development follows an intensive and successful training programme conducted in 2025, where participants were equipped with practical skills in soap and detergent making, business development, and basic production techniques aimed at fostering self-reliance and entrepreneurship.
With the training phase now concluded, FEF is shifting focus toward scaling up production capacity, encouraging beneficiaries to apply their acquired skills in a more structured and commercially viable way. The Foundation believes this transition is crucial for transforming skills into sustainable income-generating ventures.
FEF emphasized that the next phase will require stronger collaboration, discipline, and consistency from both volunteers and beneficiaries to ensure the long-term success of the project and its intended economic impact within communities.
The Foundation also reiterated its commitment to supporting grassroots entrepreneurship and creating opportunities that empower individuals to become job creators rather than job seekers.
Stakeholders are being encouraged to remain actively engaged as the project advances into this new stage, which is expected to strengthen local production networks and enhance economic resilience in Ebonyi State.
“Skill is only the beginning—true empowerment is achieved when knowledge becomes production and production becomes income.”
