Membership Benefits and Services

UNISON Welfare

We are aware of the pressures UNISON 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. We offer -

• Support
• Confidential advice
• Financial assistance

We support members in a variety of ways mainly through confidential advice and financial assistance in the form of grants. For example we can help with sorting out finances, advise on benefits or put members in touch with another organisation that can help.

In North Lincolnshire we have a policy that, if any member is off work sick for a month or more,or has to go into hospital, they will receive a bottle of spirits or a bunch of flowers. However we rely on people to tell us. So if you know of anyone who is eligible for a gift, please inform either Carol, the branch office or your steward
