Who the Fund may be able to help
Eligibility begins with a connection to the former Rugby Group cement or associated quarrying businesses. Trustees then consider the person’s need and circumstances.

The defined group
The governing document covers people who are or have been employed in UK cement or associated quarrying operations by Rugby Group Ltd, Rugby Portland Cement Company Ltd, or relevant present or former subsidiaries.
- Eligible current employees
- Eligible former employees and pensioners
- Qualifying spouses, children and parents
- Other dependants within the defined class
Need is considered individually
A request may arise from financial hardship, health or disability-related pressure, bereavement, an unexpected change in circumstances or another serious welfare need.
The website cannot promise a particular form or amount of help. Every decision is discretionary and must fit the charity’s governing objects.
Unsure about the connection?
You do not need to decide eligibility alone. Provide the employer or site name, approximate dates and your relationship to the employee in a short confidential enquiry.
Start with the connection. The Fund will help establish whether it can consider the circumstances.
