The Chemists’ Community Fund exists to help Royal Society of Chemistry members and their families when life gets challenging. We can ease the pressure you might be feeling and find you the right resources to help deal with the problem.
Ways that we can help you
Our support services break down into five main areas:
Talk to us
Getting advice is the first step to overcoming a challenge of this kind. It doesn’t matter where you are in life, or the size of the thing worrying you. Our specialists will listen to your circumstances, offer practical advice, and where appropriate direct you to a range of services that might help you.
All enquiries are confidential and always dealt with by a member of the Chemists’ Community Fund team.
A new working name for the Benevolent Fund
Last year, we began looking at ways to ensure that the Benevolent Fund could continue to be relevant for our modern community.
The objective of the Fund is to both relieve and prevent poverty through advice and guidance, financial assistance and volunteer support. For many people we spoke to, the name was seen as old-fashioned, and didn’t represent the non-financial support we offer.
On these pages, you’ll find information about the legal advice, counselling and intensive career services we provide, and over the course of 2016, we will be transitioning to our new working name of Chemists' Community Fund, a name that you thought a better reflection of the scope of our support.
By the end of the year, we will be using this name on all of the information that we share with you.
[The Fund] has made a huge impact on my ability to make it through this very dark period in my life. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much, you have definitely changed my life for the better and I will appreciate that forever.
