Over the years, IQBF has helped many members and their families through some of the most challenging times in their lives and we continue to do so. This has included help with bills after bereavement, funding towards training and paying for a car conversion so that it is accessible for a disabled child. We also offer support, information and signposting where relevant.
An insight into assistance the fund provides can be viewed in our case study with James, a dependent of a former member of the IQ.
People contacting IQBF can be assured that their situation will be treated with discretion and care. Every request for financial assistance is considered and reviewed by the IQBF Board of Trustees.
