| Members of the Midlands TUC Disability Forum with the presentation cheque for nearly £500 to support Trade Sexual Health |
The Midlands TUC Disability Forum lead a fundraising event
for World Aids Day last December with members of Unison and Unite descending on
the Nightingale Club to raise awareness of our trade union movement and to
bucket collect for two HIV charities in the midlands that face funding reductions
through PCT and local government budget cuts
The trade union team was very well received at the club and
the majority of customers being either young LGBT or students meant we were
able to educate and inform about both the importance of trade unions and raise
awareness of HIV.
Collectively over £500 was raised between the bucket
collection, donations from Unite the Union West Midlands, Unison Sussex Police
and Justice Branch, HSBC Commercial Services Leicester and thanks go to the
support of our Unite and Unison members, especially the Unison West Midlands LGBT
Self Organised Group!
