Avon LMC Benevolent Fund
This fund has been in existence for many decades to support GPs, who work in the BNSSG area, should they face financial hardship, irrespective of the cause.
If you or a colleague need to apply to the Avon LMC Benevolent Fund, please e-mail info@almc.co.uk and your information will be passed on to the Chair of Trustees who will contact you directly.
Cameron Fund
The Cameron Fund provide support to GPs and their families in times of financial need, whether through ill-health, disability, death or loss of employment.
Some of you might feel that the Cameron Fund is not needed in the current world of pension schemes, insurances and state benefits. In reality our experience is that in cases such as unexpected serious illness, suspension or bereavement of a GP colleague, there is often inadequate or no provision available for financial relief and real hardship can occur. Originally the majority of applicants were elderly GPs or widows – today over 50% of applications are from working age GPs.
Accident, short or long-term illness, depression and other mental ill-health, bereavement, relationship breakdown, divorce, as well as professional problems. These life-changing events can happen to any one of us, at any time and result in loss of income.
