Many of our members are facing a variety of challenges at the moment, many of which are directly or indirectly connected to the current financial crisis. But just because the obvious problems may be related to money, these may manifest themselves in a variety of ways & impact on many varied aspects of people's lives. An obvious example is stress: pressure on your finances can quickly lead to an increase in stress levels, which in term can impact other areas of life.
Consequentially many of these issues can be eased with a little financial assistance. Just imagine if there was a way to deal with bill that you just can't pay. Maybe you're just not aware of the routes to gaining financial help.
Unison has helped many members who have been facing financial difficulties.
If you'd like to know more about the types of assistance that you can benefit from via Unison Welfare please have a look at the following web pages:

Part of what we aim to do is to make our members aware of the places in which they can find further assistance. For example are you aware of the Money Guidance Service? It's a government sponsored financial advice service that can provide a free 1 to 1 meeting to discuss your finances.
