In these continued unprecedented times for our industry and the wider world as a whole the service of advice and support available from CIOB Assist has never been so critical and important.

During this very challenging time, CIOB Assist has been able to help our members and their families globally offering advice on many issues including employment, housing, income replacement and supporting members directly with the costs of skills-based training.

Furthermore, CIOB Assist have been providing mental health and wellbeing support, which is available free to our members via our partnership with Anxiety UK.

Access to these services has made a positive difference to many and continues to do so.

All of this has been made possible wholly by the voluntary support of CIOB members and events organised by our hub committees through their donations which for over 30 years now has enabled us to maintain a broad range of support services for our members and their families in circumstances of difficulty.

Your donations continue to make a very real and positive difference to the daily lives of our members and their families globally.

Our thanks go out to all of the CIOB staff who support our members and our Hub committees in the many initiatives that are now being instigated to facilitate donations to CIOB Assist, coupled with the great work that our Hub CIOB Assist Ambassadors take on in spreading the name and work of CIOB Assist.

Finally on behalf of the CIOB Assist Board of Trustees, our continued heartfelt thanks for all such donations go to the many thousands of CIOB members whose generosity over many years has enabled us to maintain this service during these unprecedented times.

Take care everyone and as always do stay safe.

Peter Smith FCIOB

Chair of the CIOB Assist Board of Trustees
