This @MetroUK story highlights the financial struggles of many overseas #students in the UK - they have little access to credit to spread the high cost of tuition fees Our #creditunion is proud to support Stephen and other local students 💪🏾

Our Consortium of GM #creditunions are proud to deliver this scheme to local people alongside @BeeNetwork and @AndyBurnhamGM This is local community wealth and resource applied to get more money in peoples pockets in a new and collaborative way 🚀

BREAKING: We have reached agreement with our 14 credit unions on an innovative new way of cutting the cost of public transport. From January, people will be able to buy annual passes via weekly payments to a credit union - saving almost 5 a week, £20 a month and £240 a year. 👍🏻

As #creditunions in #GreaterManchester we are proud to support our local communities This initiative from @MayorofGM boosts our goal to improve the financial well-being of GM and promote financial inclusion to all

It annoys me how people on low incomes often pay more for energy and transport because they can’t buy upfront. So, working with @GMCreditUnions, we will help people to buy an annual @BeeNetwork pass via weekly interest-free repayments - and make big savings on travel costs. 3/3

#DoOneThing #1 🌟 @SthMcrCURyanQ send everything that’s left in his bank account on payday to a separate savings account 🔒 Ryan can’t see it and won’t touch it - when it’s time for a bigger purchase, these savings will be there for Ryan’s benefit 🙌 #TalkMoneyWeek #TalkMoney


The marketplace for lending has changed radically , with high cost lenders falling away but #creditunions are resilient and thriving . We disrupt the market by being in it and transforming it to become fairer and more inclusive. #CoopConf23

"We’re a world wide movement. There’s 393 million members of credit union across the world." says @SthMcrCUSheen of @SmCreditUnion at #AmbitionForChange. "Credit unions disrupt the market by being in it. We're doing it and changing it at ground level."



#creditunions are ambitious for change and we are already modelling a fairer , social economy so it has been good to have the opportunity to speak at @CoopParty #CoopConf23 this morning

Next up at #AmbitionForChange: we've got an exciting panel of speakers talking about how co-operators can campaign for a fairer economy with @FairTaxMark, @SmCreditUnion & @PositiveMoneyUK!

Our team took to Manchester to let our hair down for a long-awaited night out 🕺 After treating ourselves at Nell's Pizza and having a go at some games at Roxy Ball Room Manchester Arndale we feel better than ever 😃 (It's a good job we are better at finance than bowling!)

Inspiring to recently find out more about @pppdidsbury and their thoughtful , energetic approach to stimulating lifestyle change for the good of Planet Earth 🌎 Looking forward to finding ways to work together locally

Simple answer to that: act now. @pppdidsbury is one year old. In that year we have gone from 'keep 1.5 alive' optimism of COP26 to '1.5 is dead, lets do what we can' of COP27. Things moving on fast - time to act. @MCCDidsbury #ClimateEmergency #didsbury



Great to see how our #creditunion members are going green 🌳 Everything from growing food , bikes for all the family , electric vehicles and heat source pumps. There is an opportunity for everyone to find their way in to more sustainable living, whatever your income 💚

Wow! We have had an amazing reaction recently from our members enquiring about our #GreenLoan 💚 There's plenty of information around when it comes to going #green, so make sure to check out our quick 🧵 here 👇
