Donate to the PCS Strike Fund

Going on strike can be a necessary last resort for PCS members when employers refuse to engage with us on workplace issues, striking allows members to put pressure on their employer to resolve the dispute.

Through our strike fund we can support members who are taking action over issues such as office closures or specific terms and conditions.

Our strike fund makes it possible to support members financially when they are striking and therefore not being paid by their employer.

The fund can make it possible to win workplace campaigns.

Members already contribute 50p a month to the fund through their PCS union subscription but can make one-off or regular additional donations as they wish. The NEC agreed on 18 November to put in place a short-term levy of all members involved in our national dispute of £5 a month, or £3 a month for our lowest-paid members, starting in early 2023.  

Read our Q&A about the strike fund levy.

In addition, we welcome donations from our supporters.

How to make additional donations

The simplest and best way to donate is to make a one-off online payment directly into our strike fund.

Alternatively, if you want to make a payment via a standing order or direct debit, please contact the PCS Finance Team leedsfinance@pcs.org.uk , who will advise you how to pay.
