Like everyone in the country, UNISON has been cheering on our incredible athletes as they’ve been competing in the Paralympic Games in Rio.
And for the union, we’re particularly delighted to congratulate swimmer Amy Marren, who won a bronze medal in the pool last night.
UNISON has always been dedicated to supporting disabled people and, back in 2010, the union unveiled a three-year sponsorship of London’s regional disability swimming squad – a squad that Amy was a member of at the time.
And as if that were not a big enough connection, Amy’s grandmother is senior lay member Irene Stacey.
So well done Amy! And we know that Irene will be overjoyed too.
To read more about Amy’s career so far, visit her Paralympic page (and you can navigate from there to find out more about all our Paralympians).
