The Benevolent Fund of The Physiological Society

17 Jun 2009


The Benevolent Fund of The Physiological Society was established in 1976 "for the purpose of assisting Members of The Society and staff and former staff (who by the nature of their employment can be considered to have contributed to the advance of Physiology) employed at teaching, research and industrial establishments who are in necessitous circumstances and their dependants". The Fund can help qualifying individuals by making grants or interest free loans.

The majority of the charitable fund comes from donations made by Members of The Society, and some non-Members. All money donated to the Benevolent Fund goes directly into the charitable account. Due to its association with The Society, the minimal administration costs are absorbed by The Society itself. Therefore every penny you donate goes to help people in need.

Individuals in need, or those who know of someone who might qualify for help are asked to write, in confidence, to any of the Trustees of the Fund. The names and contact details of the current trustees are given on the website below. For advice or queries regarding the Fund please email ebell@physoc.org or call 020 7269 5713.
