Are you a member of the BNTVA? If so we have a range of new options and initiatives that can get you specialist help from the NCCF Care Wellbeing and Inclusion Fund.
The BNTVA are the only other recognised UK Charity working within the British Nuclear Community. With the change of leadership a great opportunity for the two organisations to work closer for the benefit of the community has been created. It is with great pleasure that we announce the first fruits of this new beginning.
The Benefits
Expedited CWI Fund Access for BNTVA Members
The BNTVA and NCCF have agreed on a data validation conduit that will enable applicants for help from the Care Wellbeing and Inclusion Fund to submit their application without the need to obtain additional supporting evidence.
Currently, the NCCF has to validate an applicant’s Entitlement, Identity, and Residence before the application can be placed before the Grant Panel. Under the new scheme, any BNTVA member will simply have to provide their membership number. This will be sent to the BNTVA who will confirm the required details.
CWI Fund Training for BNTVA Volunteers
The BNTVA are undertaking a significant upskilling of their BNTVA Welfare Service, This will provide a much-needed support service to the British Nuclear Survivor Community and the NCCF has agreed to provide training and guidance to the volunteers to enable them to help and encourage people to apply for support from the NCCF. This training will be rolled out over the coming months.
BNTVA Welfare Service to Supply Supplemental Information for CWI Fund Applications
Along with the training, the NCCF will be providing to the BNTVA Welfare Service we will also be developing a protocol to allow volunteers who obtain the consent of community members wanting support from the CWI Fund to be able to submit supplemental information relating to their situation and needs directly to the application process. This is already a feature of the CWI Fund interactions with the SSAFA charity Case Workers and we look forward to the additional benefit it will bring to applicants from the BNTVA.
