UNISON Welfare 
Welcome
UNISON Welfare is our own unique registered charity.

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.

UNISON Welfare can offer;

  • Support
  • Confidential advice
  • Financial Assistance

UNISON Welfare is exclusively for UNISON members and their dependants at times of special need.

Contact your branch welfare officer or branch secretary. You can also be put in touch the Scottish Welfare Committee by phoning 0870 7777 006.

You are always best to approach your branch first. Some branches have local Welfare Funds set up as charitable organisations as well as giving access to the national fund. Welfare Officers and the Welfare Committee have experience in advocacy for members and putting them in touch with other agencies which may also be able to help.
