NatWest Group Pensioners Benevolent Fund

The NatWest Group Pensioners Benevolent Fund (formerly known as the RBS Group Pensioners Benevolent Fund) is a UK registered charity for retired employees and their dependants and is totally independent of the Bank. It is managed by a board of Trustees, all volunteers, who are current and retired employees themselves. If you receive a pension from a current or former company of the NatWest banking group, or you contributed to one of the group’s pension schemes during your employment, you (and your dependants) are eligible to apply. The Fund was set up in 1979 with a donation of £1000 from the NatWest Group Pensioners’ Association. Since its launch, no funding has been received directly from the Bank. Instead, income has been received from legacies, bequests and donations from retirees, and deposit interest and dividends from investments. Over the last twenty years, the Fund has awarded almost 300 grants totalling more than £350,000 to pensioners needing a helping hand. Perhaps we can help you towards the cost of a needed item.
