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
