Do you need help and support?

Welcome to UNISON's registered charity. We are a unique confidential service offering advice and support just for UNISON members and their families:

              • Debt advice Many people fall into debt at some point in their lives. Sometimes all it takes is a small change in circumstances to tip the balance and turn a manageable situation into a debt problem.
              • Financial assistance If you, or a colleague you know, is in need and you think we might be able to help with a grant, please contact your branch welfare officer or branch secretary in the first instance.
              • Breaks and holidays We are aware of the pressures on UNISON members and the many obstacles to achieving a happy and healthy work life balance. Our well being breaks can provide welcome relief from the stresses of daily life
              • Personal advice Support is offered through our team of experienced casework staff at national office and network of branch welfare officers. They are there to listen and help.

Spotlight on...Debt
"I was no longer looking into a big dark hole on my own. I could see light at the end of the tunnel."

At UNISON Welfare we are used to helping members who are struggling to cope with the stress and worry of debt. Through our partners at Payplan we can provide you with free and confidential advice to help clear your debts. With Payplan's debt mangement plan you get:

bullet point Reduction of multiple debts to a single payment
bullet point Choice of payment methods including PayPoint cash option
bullet point An assigned case officer to call for advice throughout the repayment programme
bullet point Supported self-help if you prefer
bullet point A completely free service with no hidden charges

Payplan's debt mangement plan is paid for by the credit industry so every penny of your repayments goes towards your debts unlike some debt management companies who charge a fee. More...
