About us
Who we are
Cavell is the charity supporting UK nurses, midwives and nursing associates, working and retired, when they’re suffering personal or financial hardship.
Cavell makes a profound difference for nursing and midwifery professionals during their most challenging moments. As they navigate crises exacerbated by factors like staffing shortages and burnout, whilst facing personal and financial hardship often due to illness, disability, domestic abuse and more, Cavell gives essential financial, emotional and holistic support.
The charity offers an effective, tailored package of support to help everyone who gets in touch. We give emotional support for those in crisis, advice on maximising benefits, signposting and referrals to specialist services, one-off grants to quickly relieve financial hardship and rapid emergency funding for those at great risk.
