Labour & Co-operative Councillors across the UK put promoting and developing credit unions as an affordable alternative to payday lenders and commercial banks at the heart of their election manifestos. With a very real cost of living crisis effecting households across the UK, join us on Zoom to get an update from some these elected representatives on:
– how you can include in your local Labour and Co-operative manifestos ahead of May elections, – how you can set one up through your local council or your community, – and the importance and impact particularly during the current cost of living crisis
We’ll be joined by Cllr Claire Rowntree, Deputy Leader at Sunderland Council who setup a city-wide credit union in partnership with MoneyWise CU, and Mr Mukesh Malhotra, Chair at Thamesbank Credit Union and many years of experience in the sector
