About Pickering & Ferens Homes (PFH) PFH's origins lie with the philanthropic activities of 2 prominent Hull businessmen - Christopher Pickering and Thomas Ferens.

The two Trusts formally merged in 1992 and became 'Pickering and Ferens Homes' Housing Association. In line with their charitable objectives PFH provide accommodation and accompanying services predominantly for residents aged over 60 years old. The Opportunity High quality GM services are of great importance to PFH's residents, and we have recently worked with our residents to review the service and codesign the specifications and standards our residents want for the future.
