Benevolent Fund donations
Donations are urgently needed to support the work of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society's Benevolent Fund, which exists to provide help to distressed members of the profession and their dependants. Grants may be made to
members or former members of the Society, their widows, orphans or other
dependents, and students registered with the Society.
Every year, hundreds of individuals are given quarterly or monthly grants
or one-off payments to assist where there is need. Interest-free loans
are also made to help with major items of expenditure such as external
redecoration and repairs where no other source of funding can be found.
As well as providing financial help, the fund is also regularly approached
for advice on a wide range of welfare issues.
Donations may at any time be sent direct to the Benevolent Fund, Royal
Pharmaceutical Society, 1 Lambeth High Street, London SE1 7JN. At the
beginning of the year, an easy way for pharmacists to make a donation
is to include an additional sum when paying their membership retention
fee (remembering to complete the relevant box on the retention fee form).
Gift Aid donations are especially welcome. For further information about
Gift Aid, contact the finance department at the Society.
