About CIOB Assist

Helping members get back on their feet. For standards. For change. For people.

Our History

Empowering Members Since 1992

We began with financial support for our members and their families, expanding to mental health aid in partnership with Anxiety UK since 2020. Our journey includes overcoming the stigma of asking for help, leading to our rebranding in September 2021 as CIOB Assist, a name that embodies our mission to offer straightforward assistance.

Our Commitment to Change and Support

We champion standards and change, celebrating milestones like CIOB Graduation Ceremonies. Understanding the challenge of seeking help, we address a range of needs from health to financial hardships. At CIOB Assist, we don’t judge – we listen and support, annually aiding dozens in our community.

Need Support? We Understand and We're Here

Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. We know it’s not easy to reach out when you’re accustomed to being the one others lean on. At CIOB Assist, we’re here to offer that helping hand in times of need, with compassion, understanding, and professionalism. You’re not alone in this journey.
