We are calling on CUPW Social Stewards to
help us to promote the Special Needs and
Moving On Projects with members in your
workplace.
The Special Needs and Moving On are
projects of the CUPW Child Care Fund. The
Special Needs project supports members
with young children (0 – 18 years) who have
special needs. The Moving On Project
supports members who have primary care
responsibility for their adult daughters and
sons with disabilities.
WHY WE NEED YOU
National research shows that over 10% of
the population has a special need or
disability.
We know there are many postal workers
who could use the information and supports
offered through these projects.
We need the help of the Social Stewards to
get information about these two important
projects directly into the hands of members
who could benefit.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
We have a plan to support Social Stewards to
promote the Special Needs and Moving On
Projects with the members you represent.
This will include practical information and
materials, developed for Social Stewards that
you can also share with members.
To facilitate better communication
with Social Stewards and the Special
Needs Project Office we are asking
you to complete a simple on-line form
that includes your mailing address,
email and phone number. The contact
information you provide will be
stored in a secure database housed
with the Special Needs and Moving
On Project. We will ensure full
confidentiality of your information
The process is safe and simple.

The French webinars will be co-facilitated

hope you will join us and learn more about
these important projects of the CUPW Child
Care Fund.
