The information below was sent out as an email to all members on 7th April 2020. It was pulled together by our Branch Welfare Officer, Paula Lawless. We hope it will be of assistance.

Further to the email we sent out earlier about enhanced support for City Council employees, we would like to draw your attention to further sources of support that are available to all, regardless of their employer. Please share with family, friends and anybody else who you feel may need them.
