The Frederick Andrew Convalescent Trust
The Frederick Andrew Convalescent Trust was established in 1916 following the death of Lincoln Solicitor, Frederick Andrew, with one aim; to provide women with financial assistance during times of convalescence.
Since its inception, the trust has continued to provide grants and is still focused on providing working women and those that have retired from active work with the means to convalesce.
The Frederick Andrew Convalescent Trust offers grants of up to £1,000 for convalescence and domestic help and up to £600 for therapy, to those of all ages, from all backgrounds and with almost any medical condition.
