We Need A Union

The song “Union on the Streets” by Charles Bailey featuring Question Musiq and Delilah. Charles was inspired by the Archbishop of Canterbury speaking out about payday lenders and wanted to do something to support the Church of England’s Task Group to promote credit unions as a better way to borrow than going to payday lenders and other high-cost credit providers.

Celebrating 50 Years of Credit Unions in Great Britain

Golden anniversary for credit unions 

LASER Credit Union is celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the first credit union in Britain.  

Credit unions have been putting their members first and providing them with the financial services they need since 1964.  There are now nearly 400 in Britain which together provide responsible savings and loans to over 1 million people and look after over £1 billion in assets.
