The BJGF Benevolent Society represents the following industries and aged people who have worked in these industries over the years.
We help anyone once engaged in the industries we cover who, for reasons of old age, ill health, or disablement find themselves, or close family members, in need of assistance. It must be remembered that, years ago, when the majority of our beneficiaries were employed, pension scheme were practically unheard of and even today, many companies do not make any pension provision for their employees. For some, retirement, coupled with managing on a State Pension and Income Support can be very hard. We provide financial aid to those in need, by means of either a small quarterly grant or through special "one off" payments to cover the cost of essential items such as telephone rentals for those who literally need a "lifeline", bed linen for the incontinent, heaters for those with circulatory problems, nebulisers for those with breathing difficulties - the need seems endless. Remember that a sum as small as £30.00 may make the difference between having, or not having, a much needed telephone link with the outside world. The majority of funds are raised through voluntary donations and through fund raising events organised by members of The British Jewellery,Giftware and Finishing Federation such as the annual 5-a-side football tournament and the Benevolent Society Ball. Listed on your annual subscription invoice will be a token donation to the Benevolent Society. This is voluntary, but would be much appreciated as we currently assist over 100 beneficiaries and, as organisations such as Help the Aged, Age Concern and local social services departments are referring more and more cases to us, every penny helps.
