The Nottingham and District CWU Branch would like to wish Mick and Amanda all the best in their skydive and dedication to raising funds for Haywood House which is taking place this Friday, 14th August.

It was agreed at the most recent Central Committee meeting that we would support the cause and the branch would make a small donation towards the feat.

Mick is a former member of The Nottingham and District CWU Branch having worked for collections and distribution.

We would love it if you could join the branch in supporting this great cause.

You can find Mick's story below or by following the link.

Micks story….

”I have been volunteering at Hayward House since 2012 and love spending time with both patients and staff in Day Therapy.

In 2018, I was diagnosed with kidney cancer and subsequently had part of the offending kidney removed.

In 2025, I was given the news that my cancer had returned and in October 2025 I underwent surgery to remove the kidney completely. Just six weeks after surgery, I was back volunteering and my medical team are pleased with my recovery.”

The support from Hayward House staff and the courage of its patients have inspired Mick and aided his speedy recovery.

As a nurse at Hayward House Day Therapy and Outpatients and knowing Mick’s cancer journey we put our heads together.

At 78 years young, Mick agreed to taking on a skydive with me in August 2026.

Together we hope to raise funds for Hayward House and show that even while facing or recovering from cancer, life can still be lived to the fullest.

Ballot papers will now be reaching members addresses across Nottingham.

The Nottingham Amalgamated branch has recommended a "Yes" vote for both the USO and first steps of equalisation vote.

This position was reached unanimously by the central committee after extensive deliberations.

We believe that it is in Nottingham members best interests to vote for the new USO model, DM26, as it represents an improved level of workload for delivery members in comparison to the ODM model and as such we would ask members to back the new model when voting.

We further believe that, despite this not being as big a leap as the branch and members wanted as a first step towards equalisation, this initial implementation of 1.75% increase to pay and commitments to continue to bridge the gap, is representative of Royal Mails original position that they would not give anything towards the equalisation of new members and we believe The CWU can gain further ground on bridging the gap when USO is fully deployed.

We are asking members to Vote YES.
