To make sure all our members have a voice in the union, UNISON members have set up ‘self-organised groups’ to provide a voice for people who are traditionally under represented.
Jackie Roy is our equalities officer. She can be contacted via the UNISON Resource Centre on 01224 620624. Read more here

Equalities and Self Organisation
The branch works to highlight all the different equality strands within the branch and the employers and this page will show the work that the branch is doing to promote equalities.
UNISON has groups at national and Scottish level for women, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT+) members, Black members and disabled members. These groups are designed to be self-organising but also integral to the union’s structures.
The branch has run a Pathways Course to support women to become more active in the branch and in UNISON as a whole.
UNISON also has a young members (now up to age 30) and a retired members section to ensure that the interests of these particular groups of members also have a voice within the organisation.
