The Musicians' Benevolent Fund is entirely supported by voluntary contributions. It distributes thousands of pounds annually to unemployed, sick, and aged professional musicians.
The Fund also maintains more than a hundred pensioners and a convalescent home at Westgate-on-Sea, Kent, where last year a new modern ground floor annexe was added to enable patients to go to the home straight from hospital. Separate rooms are provided for the patients at the convalescent home, and while some contribute towards their maintenance, many are admitted free of charge.
