Statement on COVID-19
We know that you will be concerned about the impact that COVID-19 (commonly referred to as coronavirus) will have on you and your loved ones.
At Scotland in Union our priority is the health of our volunteers, our supporters and our team. We urge you to follow the advice issued by the UK and Scottish governments, and would like to thank everyone who is working on the frontline in the NHS and everyone who is volunteering to help in their communities.
We are taking the following steps with immediate effect:
-
All physical campaigning (e.g. leafletting, street stalls) is suspended until further notice. If you have leaflets from Scotland in Union to deliver, please refrain from doing so until we advise otherwise.
-
All Scotland in Union events have been cancelled for the foreseeable future. This sadly includes all coffee mornings and the Scotland in Union birthday party. Those who have already purchased tickets will receive a refund. We hope to be able to celebrate at a later date.
-
The Scotland in Union staff team are all now working from home.
Please look after yourselves and continue to follow the latest official advice, which you can find at www.nhsinform.scot.
Scotland is better off
as part of the
United Kingdom.
It’s the one simple idea that unites people behind our campaign.
It’s a belief shared by the majority of Scots and millions of people from across the UK and beyond, regardless of age, gender and political identity.
We are a full-time campaign in Scottish public life which unites all of those who believe we are
Stronger in the UK.
Currently, the SNP Government is using Brexit to try to break up the UK.
Whatever your views on Brexit, independence is not the answer!
WHATEVER YOUR VIEWS ON BREXIT, INDEPENDENCE IS NOT THE ANSWER.
And this deficit is more than double the 3% maximum which would be required for a separate Scotland to join the EU. To achieve this, Scotland would need to dramatically reduce its deficit, which would require deeper spending cuts and steeper tax rises.
WHATEVER YOUR VIEWS ON BREXIT, INDEPENDENCE IS NOT THE ANSWER.
The SNP Government's own figures show our deficit of 7% is over six times higher than the entire UK, but our public services in Scotland are protected thanks to the pooling and sharing of resources across the UK.

This deficit is more than double the 3% maximum required for a separate Scotland to join the EU. To achieve this, Scotland would need to dramatically reduce its deficit, which would require deeper spending cuts and steeper tax rises.
Our small, skilled team, led by former MP Pamela Nash,
is working on the front line every day, organising
volunteers, building networks and making the
positive case for Scotland in the UK.
We are Scotland’s largest and most energetic pro-UK campaign,
leading the opposition to another unnecessary referendum on
Scottish independence.

Do you want Scotland to stay part of the UK?
We need your support to maintain and grow our campaign.
Pamela Nash
Chief Executive Officer
Our brilliant supporters campaign door to door and set up stalls promoting Scotland in the UK.
The tremendous dedication from people in Scotland committed to protecting our role in the UK and Scotland's interests never fails to amaze us.
