Please sign the £10 billion bailout petition


The government must fund local councils properly to keep communities safe and rebuild the country after the pandemic.

Unless ministers fix the council funding shortfall of £10bn, there could be tens of thousands of job losses and catastrophic cuts to local services in England.

But in this week's economic statement, the Chancellor failed to offer any support.


Join UNISON's urgent call for a £10 billion bailout by signing the petition.
 
Add your name to the petition

Learning and Organising Services Website



A great resource to find out about all the learning opportunities available to members. You can log in and discover wellbeing, stress management and many more learning opportunities. I cannot list them all here, and it will include everything we are learning about in this session. I usually use the A-Z of learning resources to find what I am looking for.
