Dear Colleague
UNISON
There for You: Charity Challenge Events
I’m delighted
to report that this year, £23,000 was collected for Unison’s very own charity
by those who took part in the ‘Four Nations Charity Challenge’. So huge
thanks to everyone who helped our brave walkers reach their fundraising
target
Plans are
already in place for 2016’s challenge which will see us return to France for a
fabulous walk in the Pyrenees - we’re aiming to raise even more money!
This
is where we need your help
We need a
minimum of 20 participants to ensure the event goes ahead so we’re looking for
you to help with:
1. Raising awareness by circulating
information amongst your members and anything else that might inspire them to
take part
2. Demonstrating your support for
anyone ready to take on the challenge by perhaps:
Ø making
a donation to help them achieve their fundraising target
Ø helping
wherever possible with local fundraising activities that they may want to
organise
What we’re sending you
Included in this email is the following:
3. Electronic application form
4. Suggested message for use in branch
newsletters, websites, member email – in Word/PDF format
I guarantee
that money raised really does ‘make a difference’ to so many members lives!
Thank you in
advance. Any queries please email thereforyou@unison.co.uk
or call 020 7121 5620

There for You
(I have recently become a UNISON NEC trustee member of our Charity "there for you". In this short time I am so impressed with the work that "there for you" does for our members who have found themselves in financial difficulty. While I cannot take part in this sponsored event due to a clash, I am thinking of self organising and going on the walk earlier in September while still raising money. Watch this space).
