Village, from networking opportunities to advice and support Colin, Amanda and the
team are an invaluable ally. Knowledgeable, encouraging and passionate about what
they do, I cannot recommend them highly enough.”
“We have been members since 2022 and have gained many benefits from the membership. Having the opportunity to discover, meet and support other social enterprises has been hugely important as a credit union which is community and socially driven. The membership has undoubtedly increased our brand awareness and helped us reach out and help more of our common bond community with their financial needs. We highly recommend membership to help support the local economy and social enterprise.”
