Benefaction of John Crane (1651): Crane's Charity for the relief of poor sick scholars: Notice

Statutes and Ordinances, 2009, p. 777

Crane's Charity is the principal medical charity in the University. It exists to provide financial assistance to students who need treatment for physical or mental illness, or for injuries resulting from accidents, provided that the treatment cannot conveniently be obtained under the National Health Service. Assistance is normally provided by grants for junior members in residence, which can be made towards the cost of medical, surgical or psychiatric treatment, nursing home or convalescent accommodation and travel. Applications, which must be made through Tutors, can be considered at any time.
