Since 2020 Usdaw has been expanding our use of webinars as a way of speaking directly to our members, to offer information as well as training sessions.
Some we have offered in conjunction with our partners including Life Writing Workshops, Attitude to Maths and Harmful Gambling.
We also encourage reps and members to attend the Unionlearn webinars, offering a whole variety of topics such as Redundancies, Covid Awareness, Online Learning, Green Skills, Mental Health, Mindfulness and even Laughter Yoga.
