Benevolent Fund

The British Institute of Non-Destructive Testing Benevolent Fund was set up at the end of 1989. It is an independent registered charity, and its objects are:
  • To raise and maintain by donations and voluntary subscriptions a fund which shall be devoted to the relief of poverty of necessitous persons, whether or not Members of or subscribers to the Benevolent Fund, who are or have been members of the Institute and spouses, widows, widowers, children of such persons or dependants.
  • To render assistance to eligible persons defined above, who are necessitous by virtue of death, illness, reduced circumstances or social distress, by providing personal contacts and advice and/or financial disbursements as the Board deems appropriate.
The Fund has members, who must be members of the Institute, who elect annually a Board to run the Fund. The yearly subscription of members of the Fund is £5, or life membership can be obtained for £40.
Apart from subscriptions, the main income derives from the interest on the capital amount which the Institute donated to set up the Fund. Requests for assistance are dealt with quietly with the help of representatives at Branch level, through the Secretariat.
