Councils are essential to improving lives and supporting communities, to do this they need proper funding.

After more than a decade of cuts, councils across the East Midlands face a funding shortfall of over ยฃ24 million. Thatโ€™s the gap between the money needed to provide vital local services and the funding available to deliver them.

Please take a few moments to write to your MP, telling them that Itโ€™s time for proper, sustainable funding for local government: UNISON Action: action.unison.org.uk/page/199924/action/1

Throughout the month we'll celebrate the history, achievements and resilience of Black communities across the UK.

It's also a time to reflect on the inequalities and racism that persist, and to renew our commitment to challenging discrimination, advancing equality and organising for lasting change.

Together, we honour our communities and stand for justice in every workplace and community.

Today, Health and Social Care Secretary Yvette Cooper announced a new national collective pension scheme for adult social care workers

UNSION Regional Organiser, Matt Dwyer, says this is welcome news for care workers in the East Midlands. But cautions that the government must now work with unions and care workers to deliver a properly funded, accessible scheme that works for everyone in the sector.
