Available Therapies and Treatments Through the Fund


At TBF, we strive to provide access to a wide range of therapies and treatments to support your well-being. The image to the left highlights some of the most common therapies we assist with, but please note that this list is not exhaustive, for a more detailed breakdown, see below. If you are interested in a treatment that is not mentioned, we encourage you to reach out to us for assistance.


Funding Details

  • Assistance Limit: We can provide support of up to £300 within a 12- month period for a specific treatment.
  • Multiple Treatments: You may receive assistance for two different types of treatments within the same 12-month period. Please note that this is calculated based on your appointment dates rather than a standard calendar year (e.g., January to December).
  • Family Coverage: Each family member is considered separately for funding, and benefits are not cumulative.

Important Notes

  • *Chiropody/Podiatry: Available for working beneficiaries, working partners and dependent children only.
  • **GP Referral: A recommendation or referral from a GP is required for Dermatology treatment. Please be aware that only consultations and assessments are covered; products or private prescriptions are not included.
