“In fact, we are possibly needed now more than ever. I am so grateful to fellow trustees and our administrator for keeping the show on the road through Covid-19.

“2022 promises to be a year of development and growth for the Solway Credit Union with a new online system and app giving us more visibility and improving the service for our members.

“We are always welcoming new members so if you’d like to start saving with us, please do get in touch. Similarly, we are always needing new volunteers to join the board of trustees. If you could help us, please do get in touch.”
