It’s that time of year again when we need you to tell us who’s gone the extra mile for the Fund.

The Fund is holding a Special General Meeting (SGM) at the DWP Five Ways Complex, Birmingham B15 1SL on Tuesday, 22nd June, with the official business commencing at 13.30.

The events have been held, a great time had by all, but for our Fund Week team and all those who got involved up and down the country, the hard work has well and truly paid off.
