How we help

Our work is varied but always focused on listening and providing tailor made help and solutions for individuals and their families.

Life advancement

The BSB offers support through grants and loans to help Old Blues to retrain where there is a need or where a forced career change demands new skills or qualifications.

Financial Assistance

The BSB strives to provide security for those Blues and Old Blues that need assistance and that can be in the form of financial support provided by interest free loans or grants or a combination of both.

Practical support

We have recently launched the “BSB Buddies scheme” which seeks to help young Old Blues attending university. We also offer sign posting to other organisations like Step Change or those specialising in advice for other areas such as disability or benefits.

Do I qualify?

The BSB will accept applications for help from those educated or employed at Christ’s Hospital, their parents, spouses, widows, widowers, children and dependents who are in need, hardship, or distress.

Case studies

"The BSB has been of immeasurable help to me ever since I left Christ's Hospital. After my hopes of attending university in America were dashed, the BSB were there to support me through my entire university career in London. Correspondence with the secretary made the whole process enjoyable and smooth."

"I am very grateful to the BSB for their assistance. They provided crucial support at an important time in my life to enable me to finish my studies and have a legal career. I would not have a legal career without the support of the BSB and for that I am truly grateful."

With the BSB’s generous fiscal assistance I was able to achieve a 1st

I am extremely grateful to the BSB who gave me a generous interest-free loan when I left CH in 1998. This money enabled me to purchase all the necessary items I needed to start vet school in Edinburgh.

Having the support of the BSB has given me the freedom to challenge myself and set me on a firm path to achieve my ambition to become a doctor. I am extremely grateful for all the BSB has contributed, supporting me throughout my studies, towards my future career.
