Join the GFTU Education Fund

We’re launching the education fund to ensure our independent trade union education is available to all. If you’re a union branch or region from a non-GFTU affiliated union, you can for the first time ever, access out growing education programme for an annual donation to our Educational Trust.

What does it cost?

Union branch/region

  • Small branches (under 500 members): £650.
  • Large branches (500 or more members): £1,300.
  • Regions of smaller unions (under 400k members nationally): £5,000.
  • Regions of larger unions (over 400k members nationally): £10,000.

You can also pay by bank transfer or send cheque payable to General Federation of Trade Unions Educational Trust, 86 Wood Lane, Quorn, Loughborough LE12 8DB

How it works
