The PCA Benevolent Fund is part of the Association's commitment to helping current and former players and their dependants in times of hardship and upheaval to readjust to the world beyond the game.
The Fund also supports players and their dependants who might be in need of a helping hand with medical advice, a much-needed operation or those who require specialist advice, care or assistance.
The Tom Maynard Trust was set up in the summer of 2012 following the tragic death of Surrey and former Glamorgan batsman Tom.
Its initial objectives were to try to provide low level financial support for young cricketers making their way in the game.
This has now been expanded to include grants for aspiring young sports people looking for support with different aspects of their career development, education and awareness programmes, the Tom Maynard Academy at the Desert Springs complex in Southern Spain where up to 14 emerging county cricketers will benefit from specialist technical and conditioning work and a scholarship at his old school, Millfield School.
