At February's Volunteer Meeting, Vicky Anning (WAY's Communications Manager) and Georgia Elms, Volunteer Ambassador and former Chair of the Board, spoke to volunteers about the recent changes to the law around Widowed Parents Allowance and Bereavement Support Payments and gave the history of the campaigns for these changes which have spanned many years.
The session was recorded for use within the volunteer section of the website so that volunteers could revisit it and for volunteers who could not make the meeting. Please do not share wider.
Joining Vicky and Georgia was WAY's Community Fundraiser, Elanor, who was widowed whilst pregnant 17 years ago and who is going through the process of claiming back Widowed Parents Allowance and Kathy, a WAY volunteer Ambassador who has successfully claimed back payments of Bereavement Support Payment.
