British Benevolent Fund of Madrid
Descripción
The British Benevolent Fund (BBF) is one of the oldest English speaking charities in Spain with records dating back to at least 1933. It operates with the support of its Honorary President, HM Ambassador to Spain, and HM Consul General. It is run by an independent Chairman and Committee, all of whom know Spain and its people, and are very familiar with the issues British citizens living there face, be they tourists or long term residents. They donate their time and knowledge for free with no remuneration whatsoever.
The BBF works in conjunction with the British Consulates in Spain and other charitable organisations to provide financial support and other assistance to British nationals who find themselves in severe distress in Spain. It matters not whether you live here or are just visiting. The committee, which meets once a month, will consider all cases on their individual merit.
Over the years The British Benevolent Fund has helped people suffering from Alzheimer’s, mental health problems, cancer, learning disabilities, stroke and heart attack victims to name but a few. It has also helped many without any health issues who find themselves isolated and without support owing to circumstances beyond their control. Our main base is in Madrid but assistance is provided to British people throughout Spain via our partner organisations (please see the Apply for a Grant page for further information).

La British Chamber of Commerce in Spain representa un punto de encuentro que nos permite estar en contacto directo con otras multinacionales británicas en la consecución de objetivos comunes. Un foro de escucha e intercambio de ideas que, gracias a iniciativas como British Investment in Spain Committee, proporciona una mayor visibilidad a la contribución de empresas británicas como Diageo, al desarrollo económico español. Cada año, el 'Barómetro sobre clima y perpectivas de la inversión británica en España' refleja la apuesta de las empresas británicas a la hora de invertir en España, siendo el Reino Unido el cuarto inversor en nuestro país, con un 10% del total de inversiones directas.
A quick look at the list of members shows that we have had commercial dealings with about 30 of our co-members in that time. The mutual membership of the Chamber has provided us with a great platform to talk. It gives people the opportunity to know you and trust you. We have also taken the opportunity to sponsor various successful Chamber events and increase our brand visibility, as well as speaking to many decision makers in business and government. Hays has now joined the British Chamber in nearly all of the 33 countries from which we operate. The cost of annual corporate membership is a lot lower than a single advert in most media and in my opinion we get a tremendous return on investment. Apart from which, I enjoy it!
