ISM Members Fund

For instance,

• we help members and their families who are unable to work because of serious illness or injury
• we help members in financial difficulties for other reasons also, such as having to care for a family member or marital breakdown
• we help retired members struggling to meet the cost of basic needs
• we pay for the 24-hour counselling helpline which helps members and their families
• we offer heavily-indebted members access to the services of a money adviser who will, if necessary, negotiate with their creditors for them
