**SELECT, Scotland’s trade association for the electrical, electronics and communications
systems industry, has donated £11,000 to the Electrical and Electronics Industries
Benevolent Association, the only charity that exists to provide help to the needy
and distressed of the electrical and electronics industries and any connected or
allied industries and sciences in the UK.**

The sum was realised from the proceeds of SELECT’s own benevolent fund, which the
trade body has run as a charity for decades. SELECT’s board decided to dissolve 
the fund “in light of continually increasing costs entailed in auditing and compliance
with regulations imposed by the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator”.

SELECT also awarded a sum of £11,000 to its own Electrical Engineering Training 
Foundation. These monies will be ring-fenced in an account to provide funds and 
bursaries for people who would not otherwise be able to afford training.
