The Benevolent
The Benevolent is the trade charity that provides help and support to current and former employees of the drinks industry and their families.
A Trade Liaison Committee grant taking the form of a decanter, awarded each year by the Master Vintner at the annual Wine Trade lunch in January, to an individual considered by The Benevolent to have gone beyond the call of duty in raising funds.
A Vintners’ Foundation annual grant provided to recruit and pay for a member of staff whose role is to publicise the work of the Benevolent and encourage a greater level of applications from potentially deserving cases.
