The Knock Union Benevolent Fund provides vital assistance to members of the school community who may be facing difficulties in their lives.  Working discreetly, the fund offers financial support and arranges professional services for Knock past pupils and their families experiencing hardship. In many situations the fund is also a trusted source of guidance, offering practical advice and reassurance for those dealing with challenging or uncertain circumstances.

The priority of the fund is to respond quickly and sensitively to anyone who seeks help. Every request is treated with respect and complete confidentiality.  As demand continues to grow, ongoing support is essential to maintain these services. The fund welcomes donations of any size and encourages those who are in a position to do so to consider setting up a standing order to provide steady long term assistance.

The Knock Union Benevolent Fund is overseen by a member of the Union and supported by a committee of past pupils representing a wide range of year groups. It is a charitable, non profit initiative that relies entirely on contributions from alumni and fundraising activities.

Through this work the Union remains true to its long standing values of care, community and solidarity, ensuring that support is available when it is needed most.
