The Benevolent Society will be launching a hardship fund to alleviate some of the financial pressure caused by loss of income or reduced income due to Covid-19. Individuals that are owners or employees of companies that are members of the BATF federated trade associations, namely, National Association of Jewellers, The Giftware Association, British Jewellery and Giftware International, British Travelgoods and Accessories Association or Surface Engineering Association, will be able to apply for a one-off grant of £750 if they are suffering from financial hardship due to Covid-19.

The hardship fund will be open for applications from Monday 1st February and applications will only be accepted via the electronic application form below. 

Initially, applications will only be accepted from owners or employees of companies that are members of the BATF federated trade associations as above, however, applications may be open to non-members at a later date, depending on demand. 

If you have any questions regarding the application process, or indeed if you would like to make a donation to The Benevolent Society Covid Hardship Fund and help us assist your fellow members suffering hardship at this time then please contact Laura Banner by email at laura.b.banner@gmail.com  or by telephone on 07985 611 209.
