Helping with the cost of school uniforms

There for You has once again got a limited fund to help members deal with the costs of school uniforms

UNISON is once more launching a scheme to help members on low incomes deal with the cost of buying school uniforms.

Families living on low income with children struggle constantly to make ends meet – and this can be particularly acute before the new school year begins when the extra costs hit hard.

The union’s welfare charity There for You has once again got a limited fund to help members deal with the costs of school uniforms.

Survey about cuts to local council budgets and your working lives

We have recently launched a survey of our members about the impact of local government cuts on services, and the impact on their working lives – including workplace stress, use of food banks, and undertaking unpaid overtime. This forms part of our campaigning and lobbying strategy to secure more money for local government in the Autumn Budget. It is essential that we receive as many responses as possible from members, so that we have results for all branches that can be used for campaigning. Please share this survey with your colleagues and encourage them to fill it in. The deadline is 11th June.
