We are a voice for our members through active campaigning locally and nationally on all issues affecting the lives of older people.

See > Campaigning for more information.

We provide support and fellowship for our members throughout their lives after work through a nationwide network of local Branches. Branches offer social activities, holidays, information and a forum for members to influence the running of UNITE.

We help any member who has a problem by providing information, contacting the pension administration centres, writing on their behalf or passing them on to an expert advisor. We have a Legal Hotline where members can receive a piece of free legal advice. There is always someone at the end of a telephone line to listen.

We work closely with other organisations such as the National Pensioners' Convention (NPC), Age Concern, Help the Aged, Equal Rights on Age, and other occupational pensioner groups such as the Civil Service Pensioners' Alliance and the Occupational Pensioners' Alliance.
