Unison Welfare

 

A unique service providing support exclusively for Unison members and dependants at times of special need.

Unison Welfare is Unison’s registered charity. We are aware of the pressure members face on a daily basis and can provide support at times of unforeseen financial hardship or personal difficulty such as redundancy, bereavement, illness or relationship breakdown.

Support is offered in a variety of ways and includes confidential advice and financial assistance in the form of grants. A grant could be made for example to help with household bills, ease debts or help with the cost of a much needed break for you and our family.

It is important to notify me, Anne Crawford  anne.crawford@stoke.gov.uk mobile 07785 902626 if you are aware of any member who is in need of assistance. People often feel isolated – a get well card or letter of support means a lot to someone.
