The objects of the Society are to render in its sole discretion assistance to Dutch nationals in need, living in the United Kingdom, irrespective of race or religion. Assistance may also be given to others in the United Kingdom if they are the surviving widows or widowers of Dutch nationals, or children with at least one parent of Dutch nationality.

Circumstances such as illness, mental stress, an emergency, old age, general poverty, and generally where an acute need of any kind exists, or an opportunity presents itself for improvement of conditions of life where these are below an acceptable level, all qualify for possible assistance.

The Charity's aim is to support beneficiaries out of interest income earned on capital, (investments are placed with Evelyn partners), and from donations and/or sponsorships. The present high level of demand for aid means the Charity is drawing down from its capital reserves at a rate not reported in living memory
