Milestone reached by Britannia & Unison

Britannia and UNISON have something to celebrate as the unique Save & Support account for UNISON members, reaches £10million in total.

The account was launched in April 2001, and offers an excellent rate of interest to members whilst a bonus of 1% of the total average daily balances is given to UNISON, on an annual basis which is donated to the Union's own registered charity, UNISON Welfare.

At the UNISON Welfare Conference on Saturday 4^{th May, a cheque for £14,000 was presented to Sue Heighton, Chair of UNISON Welfare’s Management Board, from Britannia for the first year's bonus payments.}

The bonus for 2003 is expected to be higher, and if the account continues to increase at its current level, we would expect to raise at least £100,000 for the Welfare charity in 2004.

"This account makes it the perfect way to save and get a great return whilst supporting this worthy cause" said Alan Long, head of marketing at Britannia.
