The Benfos Professional Nurse Advocacy project aims to support UK nurses, midwives, and healthcare assistants, both active and retired, who are experiencing personal or financial hardship, often due to illness, disability, old age, or domestic abuse. The support ranges from essential aid, such as funds to repair a broken cooker, to critical, life-changing assistance, like helping a family escape from domestic abuse.
