Providing assistance to quarry professionals and their families since 1925

The IQ Benevolent Fund exists to provide support for members, former members and their dependants during times of need. For more than a century, it has offered practical help and guidance to those facing hardship, illness or bereavement, ensuring that individuals and families receive assistance when it matters most.

Support from IQBF has made a real difference in people’s lives. Examples include covering household bills, contributing towards training costs and funding a car conversion to make it accessible for a disabled child.

Alongside financial assistance, we also provide information, advice and signposting to other relevant services.
