One-off grants averaging around £1,000 are available for practicing and former members of the UK nursing profession experiencing hardship.
The aim of the Junius S Morgan Benevolent Fund is to provide financial or other relief for practicing and former members of the UK nursing profession in hardship. The Fund is a member of the ACO (The Association of Charitable Organisations), an organisation which has a helpline providing details on a wide range of benevolent funds to agencies such as SSAFA, Citizens Advice Bureau and other advisers as well as to individuals.
The Junius S Morgan Benevolent Fund assists registered nurses and midwives who have practiced in the UK for a minimum of 5 years as well as nursing associates who have practiced in the UK for over 2 years post registration.
The Fund will make cash payments to assist with payments for a range of purposes including:
- Rental and mortgage arrears
- Heating
- Household renewal costs (decorating, furniture, furnishing)
- Living costs, and
- Adaption of homes for individuals with disabilities
The maximum amount of any individual in any 12-month period does not normally exceed £1,500 for all new awards.
The Trustees state in the annual accounts that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as at a going concern for the foreseeable future.
Please note that the Junius S Morgan Benevolent Fund does not accept applications itself but works in partnership with the UK nursing charity, Cavell (registered with the Charity Commission as the Edith Cavell Fund for Nurses) to support nursing and midwifery professionals. All applications for assistance should be made directly to Cavell and will be assessed and processed in accordance with Cavell's criteria.
