Gloucestershire District
Health & Community
Retired Members Group
About The Group
The group was formed in 2013. It is funded by the Gloucestershire District Health & Community branch of Unison, that is self organised, but we have limited voting rights at branch meetings. We try to organise an outing bi-monthly and have a catch up meeting in Gloucester and Stroud so that all members can decide on the next venue or event.

RETIRED MEMBERS ISSUES
The latest government figures show that 27% of pensioners live below the poverty line. UNISON's retired members campaign for better rights for retired workers in terms of a decent income in older age and better public services. If you are struggling in any way you may wish to speak to a UNISON representative (rep). Your UNISON rep can help you if you are a UNISON member. Alternatively you can call UNISONdirect on 0800 0 857 857.
