The NewstrAid Benevolent Society is the newstrade's own charity, dedicated to the benefit of individuals in the distribution section of the newspaper and magazine publishing industry. NewstrAid is integral to the Trade and is there to assist when colleagues become casualties of modern society, not just because they are elderly or infirm.

NewstrAid is supported by all arms of the News Trade – publishers, wholesalers, retailers and transport companies, and without that help, would not be able to carry out the good work that it does.
