Winners Announced in Commsave’s 321 Prize Draw Following Membership Surge

Friday 4 July 2025

Commsave Credit Union has announced the winners of its 321 prize draw, concluding a four-month drive that saw a significant increase in membership across Northamptonshire and beyond.

Between January and April, more than 1,500 new members joined Commsave – one of the most substantial spikes in recent years. All new joiners, along with members who referred a friend, colleague or family member, were entered into a prize draw to win £3,000, £2,000 or £1,000.

Among those celebrating is Louise Whitehead from Northampton, who won the £1,000 prize.

“I was so excited when I found out I’d won,” said Louise, who saw an advert for Commsave earlier this year. “I’ve used the money to finish paying for a holiday and do up my garden a bit. I’m so happy – it’s a great way to save, and it came at just the right time. Thank you Commsave.”

The 321 campaign, promoted on buses, Google ads and radio advertising across Northamptonshire, aimed to raise awareness of the benefits of joining a credit union. Commsave’s message ‘You are more than your credit score’ proved especially powerful during a time when the cost-of-living crisis continues to affect households across the region.

Interim CEO Richard Munro commented: “We’re delighted to have welcomed so many new members and to celebrate the success of the 321 campaign with our winners. This campaign has shown just how relevant and needed ethical, community-focused finance is right now.”

Commsave Credit Union, whose headquarters are in Northamptonshire, helps save safely and access responsible credit and financial education, empowering individuals to take control of their finances through ethical, not-for-profit services.”
