Full details of the motion are:
This Annual General Meeting recognises the significant work undertaken by the Social Workers’ Benevolent Trust – in its 49th year – in financially supporting social workers and ex-social workers at a time of special need for them.
This Annual General Meeting notes the increasing number of applicants to and the increased value of the grants applied for from the Trust in BASW’s 50th anniversary year, and believes that members’ concerns would be appropriately reflected by Council seeking the means to provide additional financial support to the Trust, both through members’ contributions and BASW’s aid in applying to other organisations for financial contributions.
BASW’s support for the Trust through Council, plus the financial contribution of BASW members, has long been – and continues to be – the backbone for the financial well-being of the Trust and therefore the recipients.
This AGM proposes to Council that increasing the current member levy of £2 per annum contributed to the Trust, to £3 per annum, would be an appropriate way to mark 50 years of the Social Workers’ Benevolent Trust in 2021.
