Nursing, hospital and home help for Officers' families - for life
Helping serving and retired officers of the UK Armed Forces to meet costs incurred
due to illness or injury of their dependants

About the Fund

The object of Lady Grover's Fund is to help Officers defray expenses incurred by the illness of their dependants.

Lady Grover's Fund is a Friendly Society which supports officers' wives, husbands, widows, widowers and children. We can make contributions towards hospital fees, home nursing, and domestic home help following illness or injury.

The Fund gives financial assistance to dependants of officers of all three services, whether serving or retired. Widows or widowers can continue their membership at the same rates and with the same benefits. The officer members themselves cannot benefit from the Fund.

Qualification for membership requires only that a member has 5 years of regular commissioned service in the UK Armed Forces. Beneficiaries must be under the age of 65 when the member joins. Children are eligible for help until they are 18, or 21 if they are in full-time education.

Membership is open to:

Any Officer, male or female, of the UK Armed Services, who holds or has held a regular commission for a minimum of five years.

Widows or widowers of Officers, divorced wives or husbands of Officers, for their own benefit or that of their children, and for descendant carers of Officers. Certain criteria for eligibility apply: for a full statement of these, see under Eligibility.
