Transport Benevolent Fund CIO, known as TBF, is a registered charity in England and Wales, 1160901. It was set up to support those who work in the public transport industry in Great Britain when they are in need, hardship or distress. For £1 per week we offer a wide range of benefits. The Fund is helping beneficiaries with over £500,000 in grants each quarter. This shows that even in the 21st century there is such a need for this charity. While the Fund is governed by a Constitution, it is run democratically. The first level of the organisation is the Local Committee (CIO members), who at the Annual General Meeting must elect Trustees as required under clause 13 of the Constitution. These Trustees control the charity; they are responsible for the Fund’s safe custody and the provision of benefits. The Trustees appoint a General Manager for day-to-day management, who in turn appoints staff to help him run the Fund on behalf of the Trustees. As well as appointing CIO members to oversee the running of the TBF, Local Committees (CIO members) discuss all TBF matters and consider requests for financial help from members within their areas. TBF is thus a democratic organisation with Trustees who are accountable to the membership. This is the main reason we are different to many other organisations.
