Following a request by UCU, Unite and Unison, the university has agreed to open the staff assistance fund to staff affected by the floods which badly affected some local areas from Boxing Day.

To apply to the University of Leeds staff assistance fund contact Jill Nimmo in the staff benefits team on 0113 3434138 (internal: 34138) or email staffemergencyfund@leeds.ac.uk.

For more information about the fund see the staff assistance fund page on the university website.
