welcome

NurseAid is a registered charity which exists to give financial help to serving or retired Registered Nurses, Student Nurses and Nursing Auxiliaries in need.

Financial hardship can affect us all at any stage of life, perhaps because of ill health or family problems or, as we get older, if our pensions do not stretch as far as we had hoped.

The full name of NurseAid is ‘Edith Cavell Fund for Nurses’ – the charity is named in memory of Nurse Edith Cavell who was executed on 12th October 1915 for helping British soldiers escape from Belgium.

This site will tell you about the work of NurseAid, who we can help and how to apply for assistance. If you require assistance but do not feel that you fall within the remit of our fund then here you will find a list of other sources of support.

NurseAid relies on donations and legacies to help fund its work. Whatever the cause we hope to help. In 2007 we spent approximately £300k more than our income in order to support nurses in need. This is why we desperately need YOUR help.

On a clear autumnal Sunday morning members of NurseAid together with representatives from The Royal London Hospital gathered at the Edith Cavell memorial in St Martins Fields London to honour to lay wreaths in her honour. Also present were The Belgian Ambassador, Jean-Michel Veranneman, the Deputy Mayor of Westminster Councillor Frances Blois and the Director of the Florence Nightingale Foundation Mrs. Mary Spinks. It is clear that the memory of Nurse Edith Cavell lives on for all who know her history.
