To be worried about my sister?

She's worked for 12 year's running a kids type club (Dont want to be too specific as could be outing.).
It was up until April this year, used as a public space too. However, because it kept getting vandalised, her managers chose to close it to the public. Since then, my sister's numbers have dropped dramatically as people think her service isn't running from it anymore and there is also no promotion or anybody selling it (Not my sister's job).
Anyway, she now only gets either 1 child in a morning or none at all. She got transferred to another part of her workplace on a Monday morning to do a similar job and was told she gets to keep her other hours. Yet her bosses keep on about the low numbers and she is in constant fear that she will be dismissed immediately with no notice. She is looking for another job but has crohns/very low confidence.

I am worried as she now seems very depressed. I can't work out what her bosses are playing at. Either they pay her redundancy or help promote her services. No point in them complaining and commenting yet making no actual move to do anything.
Aibu to be thinking this?

Surely if she has been there years she has a contracted notice period and would get redundancy money if the service closed? Can you talk her through being more proactive with her employer? Coming up with some suggestions to promote the club etc. It might be 'not her role' to promote it but it is in her interests for it to thrive.

Thats the thing, I don't think she has a written contract despite hassling them for one.
She has done her own leaflet drops, spoke to various departments and got her remaining parents to write positive reviews on Facebook. Time will tell if that helps.
I just worry they are looking for loopholes arpind getting out of paying redundancy. Like trying it on by saying 'Well, you have a Monday morning with us still.' I feel like something weird is going on as she hasn't been made redundant but they also don't seem keen on helping her stay in her role 😐
