In response to the raising cost of home energy bills, CABE Benevolent Fund has established the Home Energy Support Scheme to help relieve the financial pressures
that some CABE members might find themselves in.
The Benevolent Fund has partnered with the charity,Anxiety UK, and now offer independent assistance to people struggling with their mental health.
Anxiety UK has a strong reputation in the provision of support and a long history of working with benevolent funds like ours. They have an expert team of medical advisors based throughout the UK, who can provide guidance for people who

The CABE Benevolent Fund, from time-to-time, receives enquiries regarding funeral planning. Although we are unable to provide you with specific details, or advice on choosing a funeral plan, we have been able to locate two articles that could help to
make an informed decision.
Having a will in place determines how your assets are distributed in the event of your death. Writing a will can seem like a daunting prospect, so the Benevolent Fund has pulled together some resources to help you navigate the process.
If you are struggling with debt, or are facing financial difficulties, it can be difficult to know where to turn to get support and advice.
The CABE Benevolent Fund supports members to prevent them getting into increased debt and helping
to prevent further hardship, undue distress and worry.
The support available includes paying for the services of a debt management company which can help them to regain control of their finances. (Access to debt management support
would not normally apply to Members’ dependents).
Guiideis a fantastic new benefit for CABE members.
