Help - Hardship Allowance ??

Post by islfor »

Is it true CWU can help with costs for travelling, to and fro from hospital, for a terminally ill partner ?
The pmn in question has already been off caring for his wife and now balances work with all the worry.
I have heard there is a thing called Hardship Allowance ???

Have you tried the rowland hill fund?

Run, rabbit run. Dig that hole, forget the sun.
And when at last the work is done. Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one

There is a CWU welfare fund which does assist members in need but you have to have the support of your Branch Secretary .
