NewstrAid is a charity for people who work or have worked in the retailing, wholesaling, distribution and circulation of newspapers and magazines.

The NewstrAid Benevolent Fund has been in existence for over 175 years. It was founded in 1839 by, amongst others, Charles Dickens, to provide welfare for the desperately poor newspaper street sellers of London. NewstrAid has since expanded to cover the whole of the UK and everyone involved in the retailing, wholesaling, distribution and circulation of newspapers and magazines, and their immediate dependents. We provide welfare for people who are, or have been, employed in the selling and distribution of newspapers and magazines in the UK. This includes their immediate family and dependents who are in need, hardship or distress. For more information visit www.newstraid.org.uk
