Who do we help?
Applicants should
- Have worked in the Timber Trade in the UK for at least 10 years (or 5 in exceptional cases) as employees of companies engaged in the trading and distribution of wood based products.
- Be in receipt of a low income
- Have little or no savings.
- Live within the UK.
How do you apply for help?
- Contact TTBS for an application form.
- Applications can come from individuals, other charities or similar organisations e.g. SSAFA, Royal British Legion, CAB’s etc.
What happens next?
- Applications are first looked at by a locally based committee before going to our quarterly Board meeting for a final decision.
- A visit by one of our volunteers may be required.
Where does the money come from?
In an average year approximately 45% of our income comes from investments with another 40% generated by fundraising activity around the UK. The remainder comes from voluntary contributions from individuals and firms connected to the UK timber trade.
In addition during 2010 and the early part of 2011, we were fortunate to receive some generous bequests.
