The qualifying criteria are a need and a proven trade connection. In a nutshell, we help people who deal with newspapers and magazines from the time they leave the printing press until they reach the reader.

Objects: To relieve persons who are in conditions of need or hardship and to relieve the distress caused thereby through the provision of welfare for persons who are, or have been, employed in the selling and distribution of newspapers, magazines and periodicals (the Trade) in the United Kingdom, including their immediate family and dependants.
