UNISON There for You

CoVid19: Emergency grant application guidelines

In these difficult times, UNISON There for You is supporting those members whose lives have been seriously affected by the Co-Vid pandemic and who, as a result, do not have the immediate funds to cover essential expenditure.

 

Eligibility criteria

There for You can make emergency grant payments of up to £200 where there is unforeseen hardship.  For example, you/your household may have suffered a sudden loss of income or increase in expenditure.  It could be that you’ve made an application for benefits through the Department of Work and Pensions and are awaiting their decision.   Whatever your situation, we will try to help where we can.

 

As an example, help could be needed in one or more of the following areas:

 

-           Childcare/carer costs

-           Prescription costs

-           Travel/parking costs – e.g. essential workers, those with caring responsibilities/urgent medical appointments

-           Other health related expenditure

-           Food and/or fuel costs

-           Work-related expenditure
