UNISON takes centre stage at Daily Record Health Awards

UNISON is a major sponsor of the prestigious Daily Record Health Awards and took centre stage again this year.

The awards’ humble origin, planted by Jim Devine and Daily Record journalists, has blossomed into a showcase event.

UNISON Scotland Health Committee sponsor the Support Worker of the Year, won this year by Lorna Shearer (UNISON member from Lanarkshire). Lothian and the Ayrshire and Arran Branches sponsor the Mental Health Award, won this year by James Henderson. Greater Glasgow & Clyde Branch sponsors the Equality in Health award, won by the Compass Group.

Vice President of UNISON Angela Lynes, who attended the ceremony, said: “Clearly UNISON members have the X factor in looking after the health and wellbeing of UNISON members and their families across Scotland.

“They fully deserve the recognition received.”
