The Junius S Morgan Benevolent Fund assists registered and auxiliary nurses who have practised in the UK for a minimum of five years.

The Trustees consider applications via agencies such as CABx, from nurses or former nurses who find themselves in hardship for a variety of reasons. Prolonged physical or mental ill-health, broken marriages or the death of the primary wage earner may have created unforeseen expenditure and debt. All applicants are encouraged to help themselves by prudent management of their resources and in some cases a prompt cash grant is all that is needed to achieve this.
