who we've helped
The Bankers Benevolent Fund helps towards the cost of educating children of bank employees who have either died or who are unable to work because of ill health. It also gives financial support to older people and those with disabilities who face hardship due to low incomes.

The Fund helps beneficiaries in two ways:

  • by making small regular payments

  • by awarding project grants to cover specific items
