Colleagues find themselves facing difficulties for a variety of reasons. One source of support is the Welfare Fund. A separate entity to the Federation, the Welfare Fund is available to all officers and staff who contribute into it on a monthly basis.
Automatic loans of up to £500 (£25 admin fee over 1 year) are available quickly to all members of the fund and the application form for this is available here. Should you require higher amounts please contact your local Federation representative who can guide you through the process and assist with the application forms
If you haven't already joined the Welfare Fund and wish to do, you will find more information here. The Welfare Fund rules are available here.
