School meetings
If you do organise a school meeting, don’t hesitate to buy some refreshments for your members. You can then claim back your expenses from the District. To do this email pauline.philippe@neu.org.uk with your itemised receipts.
Many school groups are also using Zoom, Teams or other online platforms to organise union meetings with their members, if you find it difficult to meet in person.
You can download a guide to running a Zoom meeting here: User Guide for Zoom
