Founded in 1853 as a Post Office charity

The BT Benevolent Fund supports current and former BT employees, as well as their dependants, who are experiencing financial hardship.

The Fund is governed by a Board of Trustees, supported by a small Secretariat responsible for its day-to-day operations. Since the mid-1980s, the number of cases has increased tenfold, making the Fund’s work more vital than ever.

The Fund’s Vision, Mission and Values are as follows:

Together, we can ensure the Fund goes from strength to strength.

Vision

With a potential beneficiary base in excess of one million people, the Fund is aiming to make itself as widely known as possible throughout this group in order to make access to the Fund’s services straightforward and effective.

Mission

To increase awareness of the Fund and its activities throughout the company workforce and pension fund membership with a view to recruitment of ‘contributing members’ and identifying the Fund as a ‘resource’ to those in hardship.

Values

  • We will react promptly and effectively to those in financial hardship
  • We will make efforts to reach out to potential beneficiaries
  • We will adopt grant-making policies which are fair and consistent
  • We will conduct the Fund’s affairs in a manner which ensures a long-term future
