Helping over 30,000 ICE members, former members and their families

Stuart has always been a very active person, enjoying football, golf, cycling and going to the gym. Following surgery on his knee to repair a torn ligament, a persistent back pain got much worse and investigations unfortunately led to a diagnosis of Atypical Ewing Sarcoma, a rare form of bone or soft tissue cancer.

The condition meant that Stuart would face several stays in hospital for scans, biopsies,
surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and physiotherapy.

Daniel was a very keen triathlete and cyclist throughout his life until an accident in 2010, when he broke his foot very badly. He needed a specialist trike to get back into his fitness regime  and lift himself out of depression.

The Ben Fund supported Haroon and his family at a time of financial need and helped him relocate to Sussex and ease his financial situation.

My confidence was low after such a long break but the coaching sessions really helped me to evaluate my skills and attributes and find a role best suited for me.

I was working part-time and had difficulties renewing my ICE membership. I couldn't afford to pay my fee.

The Ben Fund helped me find work in civil engineering and helped me financially too.

Josephine’s husband had been a civil engineer for more than 50 years. Like many family members, she was unaware that the ICE Benevolent Fund existed.
