The Musicians Benevolent Fund has been supporting musicians of all ages and musical genres for more than 90 years. The music business has more highs and lows than most other professions, and the Fund is there to help when life throws up a challenge. Many musicians have no safety net when a crisis hits. The Fund provides that safety net, giving advice, guidance and personal intensive support. The Fund helps musicians through serious illness, accident and emotional breakdown, and it cares for musicians living with disability and those who need help as they grow older.
