Cavel Nurses Trust

Who we are

When the nursing and midwifery family is going through tough times, Cavell gives help.

Cavell Nurses' Trust is the charity supporting UK nurses, midwives and healthcare support workers, working and retired, when they’re suffering personal or financial hardship often due to illness, disability, older age, domestic abuse and the ongoing cost of living crisis.

The charity offers a tailored package of support to help everyone who gets in touch. We give emotional support for those in crisis, advice on maximising benefits, signposting to specialist services, one-off grants to quickly relieve financial hardship and rapid emergency funding for those at great risk.

From simple, essential support like money to replace a broken cooker or travelling expenses to medical appointments, to vital life changing aid like helping a family flee their home due to domestic abuse, Cavell is here to help.

The team at Cavell saw a 230% increase in the number of people needing help during 2022 (compared to 2021) and since then applications for help have remained very high as the rise in living costs affects us all.
