    "Amazing union that offers benefits you can actually use. After a traumatic time causing me to take some time off work for mental health reasons, I was able to access the 'in person counselling' they offer, something quite unique as usually companies only offer the 'over the phone' or 'virtual' types. This helped me so much that 4 months later, I am back on my feet and in a great place! Thank you SIF!!"

    "I've been a member since April 2025, with the way things were going I thought I needed someone to look after my employment issues and interests if any cropped up, long story short, an issue popped up with the renewing of my SIA licence which left me extremely concerned, I wrote to Daniel asking for help and advice, with 5 minutes I received a reply somewhat calming my nerves and that he had written to the SIA, within 48 hours my licence was renewed thanks to the SIF and Daniel Garnham , extremely pleased with my outcome. If you work in the industry trust me at some point your going to need help, I can now sleep easy"
