Dear Colleague
The following information may be of interest to your Members.
On 9th February 2023, the law changed, extending Bereavement Support Payments to cohabiting partners (provided the claimant has a child or children)
This was in the May 2023 edition of NARPO News.
People who are eligible must apply by 9th February 2024 to get the full amount of backdated payments. They can still apply up until 8 November 2024, but will not get the full amount.

Dear Members,
We are fortunate to have the support of the University of Gloucestershire who are offering FREE clinic services as below:-
It is that time of year again when the third-year students on the Sports Therapy Course will be running a free clinic for members of the public. This is a free clinic for all members of the public, regardless of age and is supervised by a qualified Sports Therapist.
The clinic will operate on Tuesdays and Fridays from 09.30 with the last appointment at 3.15pm. Appointments last 1 hour and 15 minutes. Bookings can be made using the link below but are blocked to allow booking 14 days before the appointment, so times may not appear until that time.
You do not have to be sporty or an athlete to book an appointment. All sorts or postural, aches, pains and twinges can be assessed and treated.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me on idowling1@glos.ac.uk.

Dear Members… The below has been circulated to all Branches by NARPO HQ’s.
Good Morning All,
I hope this email finds you well.
I wanted to bring to your attention an important matter that was raised during the September NEC meeting by No 7 Region, regarding a petition to make the National Bus Passes UK wide. After further discussion with our LLA partners, we are circulating the petition, should Branches and members wish to get involved. The petition can be viewed here: https://chng.it/j5TwtZmjxS
Many thanks
