This is the third TUC briefing on Round Two of the Union Modernisation Fund. The formal call for applications will be made on 20 November, when a copy of the application pack will be sent to trade unions directly and placed on the DTI website.

The pack will contain information on the UMF and how it works, details of application procedures and an application form. In the meantime, unions may wish to start considering whether they wish to make a bid for UMF funds. One of the  recommendations of the Women and Work Commission was that that a capacity-building programme be funded through the UMF to support training for equality reps. Equality reps feature as a priority theme for Round Two of the UMF.
