BUTCHERS AND DROVERS CHARITABLE INSTITUTION

The Butchers and Drovers Charitable Institution (BDCI) is the meat industry's own trade charity. It provides financial support to those connected to the meat trade in the UK and Ireland, including their dependants and loved ones. BDCI offers grants for various purposes, including aid for home adaptations, replacing appliances, and providing cash support to those in need. It also provides educational grants for students in meat trade-related studies. The charity supports individuals who have worked in the meat trade, widows, dependants and children who have fallen on hard times, regardless of their circumstances. The BDCI was founded in 1828.
