Members of the national women’s committee will recall the discussion at the AGM about the availability of school uniform grants for members experiencing financial hardship. I’ve since raised this with the head of UNISON welfare and I’m delighted to confirm that we will be offering grants, and that information will be available at NDC, with a short application form and a flyer, which will also be available on the website for forwarding to members.
The criteria is being finalised and as soon as I have this it will be shared with you, and I will put the link on the women’s pages on the website. In the meantime, grants can still be applied for through the standard welfare application form.
I have been asked to thank the committee for bringing this to the attention of Welfare – so please consider yourselves thanked!
Best wishes.
