Core offering

The Nuclear Industry Benevolent Fund provides financial assistance and support services to UK nuclear industry workers (past, present, and future) and their dependants through three programmes: financial hardship grants covering disability adaptations, essential home repairs, mobility equipment, household appliances, and temporary financial support; educational bursaries for individuals pursuing nuclear industry training and career development; and community grants of up to £50,000 for organisations supporting the UK nuclear industry and communities near nuclear sites. All services are provided at no cost to eligible beneficiaries.

Product overview

The Nuclear Industry Benevolent Fund operates three interconnected charitable programmes: the Main Fund providing direct financial hardship assistance to nuclear industry workers and their families, the Bursary Scheme offering educational grants to support future nuclear industry talent, and the Community Grant supporting organisations that benefit the UK nuclear industry and local communities near nuclear sites. These programmes work together to fulfil the charity's mission of reaching present, future, and past UK nuclear industry workers experiencing financial distress.
