Time to get nominating for this year’s Get Active awards

UNISON South West’s Get Active weekend hosts our annual branch and activist award ceremony, a celebration of the fantastic work that goes on in the region.

Of course anyone giving up their time and energy to make life better for their colleagues is an award-winner, but we like to pay a special tribute to the branches and activists that have gone that extra bit further to campaign, champion equality and more.

So if you’ve been inspired, you can make nominations for:


  • Organising Rep of the Year
  • Organising Rep of the Year in the Community, Voluntary or Private sector
  • Health and Safety
  • Equality
  • Learning Initiative
  • Young Member of the Year
  • Branch of the Year

It’s then up to a committee of activists to pick their winners from the nominations we receive.

Nominations are open until noon on Wednesday 18 March. Nominate via the link below.
