Benevolent Fund

Supporting Our Community

The Benevolent Fund helps current and former members and employees of the Association, along with their dependents, who may be facing difficulties. This support is available to all, whether or not they’ve contributed to the Fund in the past.

We encourage all our members to make a difference by donating to the fund. Your generosity will provide much-needed assistance to colleagues and families who are going through tough times.

Easy ways to help

A small donation of just £10 per member can go a long way in offering support.
