Need Help?
Welcome to the Central Sussex Hospitals branch's website. Direct any questions or comments about this site to Mark Sargent on mark.sargent@unison-csh.org.uk
If you need help and are a member of UNISON, then you should first of all talk to your local representative. Otherwise contact the branch office. As the office is not manned on a regular basis, e-mail contact is preferred. You can also call our national helpline, UNISONdirect, on 0845 355 0845.
Lines are open from 6am to midnight on Monday to Friday and from 9 am till 4pm on Saturday. There is also a textphone number for members with hearing difficulties - 0800 0 967 968.
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

Lealta UNISON Discount Card
Launching at the branch AGM - see www.unison-csh.org.uk/active/agm.
UNISON has joined forces with Lealta Benefits, the market leading benefits provider, to enhance its shopping club, in doing so offering you a huge range of tangible benefits and discounts. The UNISON Discount Card is your passport to a world of great savings! You can use your card to take advantage of benefits at a huge range of shops, online retailers and service providers. Discounts are redeemed in different ways - these include quoting a special code, printing off a coupon, buying vouchers or presenting the card. Lealta are focussed on providing discounts and exclusive benefits not available to the general public.
In the next couple of months we'll be rolling out this new benefit to members to provide each with their own branded UNISON Benefits Card, which is the key to a wide range of offers, both locally and across the UK & Southern Ireland. The benefits are focused primarily on offers and discounts on retail products and services, for example restaurants, clothing, leisure activities, beauty salons, gyms and much, much more. There's a wide range of offers with major retailers and providers, but there's also a rapidly growing network of thousands of independent retailers offering deals, usually a minimum of 10% and all those local companies will give you the discount just for showing your Benefits Card.
Discounts are available with instantly recognisable high street names and local retailers: Boots, M&S, Thorntons, Halfords, Comet... but perhaps you'd like to enjoy discounts at that nice new restaurant round the corner but they are not listed on the scheme? Simply call the helpline and they'll do their best to bring them on board - what ever it may be, the discount card will save you money.
Come along to the AGM on Tuesday 9th March to be one of the first to get hold of one of these cards.
