Thanks to the Lloyds and TSB Benevolent Fund this motorised scooter has given me back my independence

Not being able to work due to ill-health the fund helped me purchase a computer to buy groceries on line and keep in touch with family

​When on benefits you can't save for Christmas so it was a special treat to receive a hamper from the Benevolent Fund

The Local Authority couldn’t help provide a wet-room for many years so I was able to get help with the cost from the Benevolent Fund – what a difference it’s made to me!

Having no relatives and knowing there’s someone I can call has made so much difference.

With no savings to replace our central heating boiler in the Winter the Benevolent Fund helped us buy another.

I was so worried I would have to sell up until the Benevolent Fund suggested a stair lift. Four weeks later it was being installed!

I didn’t like asking for help but I picked up the phone and they immediately put me at ease. If only I had done it sooner.

For over ten years a volunteer of the Benevolent Fund has ​kept in touch and occasionally contributed towards the cost of repairs. I do look forward to their visit.

My Dad was seriously ill and lived in another part of the country. A little help from the Lloyds and TSB Benevolent Fund meant I could visit and say what I needed!
