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
