Benevolent Fund benefits resume
21 August 2020
As lockdown eases and we begin to see a steady return to normality, we’re pleased to announce that many of the Benevolent Fund’s membership benefits have also resumed.
The Benevolent Fund’s holiday homes in Weymouth and Dartmouth are now ready and safe for members to visit. The COVID Secure Statement, which can be found on the fund’s website, outlines everything being done to protect guests.
There are still weeks available for Court Cottage, near Dartmouth for October through to April 2021. This quaint two-bedroom residence is situated on the luxury Hillfield Village self-catering estate. Sleeping up to four people, it provides a wonderful base to explore South Devon.

Weeks can also be booked at the fund’s second property, Peel’s Retreat, Weymouth from December 2020 to April 2021.
For full details of availability visit the holiday home pages on the Benevolent Fund website.
Holidays for May 2021 through to spring 2022 will be available to book via a ballot in January 2021.

Convalescence and rehabilitation breaks for members are also resuming. St Michael’s Lodge, the holistic treatment centre in the Ribble Valley, Lancashire, closed its doors back in April in response to the COVID-19 outbreak. The lodge began operating a phased re-opening from 27 July. Restrictions will apply and the full COVID Secure Policy will be published on the Benevolent Fund website.
Members who had appointments cancelled will be notified by St Michael’s Lodge staff to discuss options for re-booking. A further email will be shared with all our members about the planned re-opening in due course.
The Benevolent Fund was unable to welcome members to the AGM scheduled for July. But it is hoped a new date came be arranged for later in the year.
2020 has been challenging time but the Benevolent Fund is still available to offer help and assistance where it is needed.
If you are suffering financial hardship or distress please get in touch. You can apply for help via the website, by emailing the team or by calling 0121 752 4919.
