A lasting connection Registered charity 265669
Former employees and pensioners
The Fund’s purpose continues beyond a person’s working life. Eligible former employees and pensioners can enquire when difficult circumstances arise.

Historic records are helpful
Share any employer, plant, quarry or payroll names remembered, along with approximate dates. Do not worry if records are incomplete; the first task is simply to explain the likely connection.
Different lives, different needs
Later-life hardship can take many forms. The trustees consider each situation on its own facts and within the charity’s formal objects.
- Unexpected household pressure
- Health or disability-related need
- Bereavement and changed circumstances
- Other serious welfare concerns
Confidential from the outset
Use the official email address or telephone number. Ask how sensitive evidence should be provided before sending financial, medical or identity documents.
The connection created through work can remain relevant long after employment ends.
