HARDSHIP FUND RAISES £10,000

An impressive £10,000 was donated over the holiday season to the Hardship fund set up for those BALPA members who lost their jobs without compensation when Globespan collapsed.

A very big thank you to everyone who donated. This money will be sent out in the next few days and we are sure will be much appreciated.

The National Executive Council will shortly be meeting Trustee representatives of the independent Benevolent Fund to discuss how we help members who find themselves in these terrible circumstances.
