Great support in times of need at an affordable cost. I have used diagnostics services multiple times for myself and my daughter and each time it’s been really effective in reducing wait times and getting the information needed to refer back into the NHS for treatment.

I contacted Benenden Charitable Trust to request financial support for a long-term medical condition. My circumstances had been further exacerbated by a recent separation, a house move, and financial pressures while caring for two young children.

The charity reviewed my application, provided guidance on the support available, and made a generous financial contribution that helped me get back on my feet.

I will be forever grateful for the help I received when I needed it most. I am especially thankful for the sensitivity, kindness, and compassion shown by everyone I spoke with throughout the process. Their support made a real difference at a very difficult time in my life.

Thanks to Benenden I was able to arrange an appointment with an approved Specialist, avoiding a long wait in the nhs , and receive all the necessary investigations and follow ups which had lead to a plan of treatment. I am so grateful for this reassuring care and “got things done” which could have been a long wait and a lot of stress.
