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 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. Welfare advice is provided by the Central Sussex Hospitals Branch's own
Welfare Officer, Marilyn Saward. All enquires are handled in complete
confidence and with sensitivity. Find out more about how Marilyn can help
members by visiting the Welfare section of this site, or e-mail her on
welfare@unison-csh.org.uk |
