We’re sorry, but some customers are experiencing intermittent issues with our Online Account (for members). We’re working hard to fix this as quickly as we can.
The provider of The People's Pension has a new name - People's Partnership. We will continue to support the construction industry through employee benefit products and The Charitable Trust - under the existing B&CE name.

Ways B&CE's Charitable Trust can help
The B&CE Charitable Trust was set up in 1991 to give back to construction. To support individuals we provide grants and financial support and our Construction Worker Helpline.
How to apply
If you’d like to find out more about making an application for any of our hardship grants or grants for education and training, please get in touch – we’ll be happy to help.
If you can prove that you’ve worked in construction within the UK, as a ‘tradesperson’, for at least 12 months (at any time within your employment history), you could be eligible.
A ‘tradesperson’ is someone who is or has been manually involved in the build of a project. For example:
- A grounds person working as a civil engineer on a project
- A labourer working on a site
- A plant driver working on site as part of a construction build project
- A painter and decorator
- A scaffolder
Other examples of tradesperson jobs are listed in the Construction Industry Joint Council agreement.
