We’ve had a fantastic day at the branch today, celebrating UNISON’s Stars In Our Schools Day. We asked our members to “Nominate a Star” and we were bowled over by the response!

It was our pleasure to host a prize presentation ceremony at Hereford’s beautiful Town Hall this afternoon, with the prizes being handed out by our lovely Madam Mayor, Cllr Jacqui Carwardine.

8 of our wonderful winners and their guests were able to join us for the celebration and we really hope they enjoyed themselves. They all seemed pleased with their certificates, gift vouchers, chocolates and goodie bags 🤩

Lots of cake was enjoyed and everyone was in good spirits. It’s great to shine a light on the fabulous work of Herefordshire’s school support staff.

Special thanks to Cllr Carwardine and her team and the custodians and cleaners at the Town Hall for their amazing support today too 👍🏼 Particular congratulations to Ledbury Primary School who had five members of their support staff nominated.

There were also winners from Wigmore High, Bridstow Primary, Barrs Court School, St Weonards Primary, Wellington Primary, St Mary’s RC High and Marlbrook Primary. Well done everyone 😃

Branch Chair and Branch Secretary
