Examples of local community support

Since our doors first opened in 1972, United Credit Union has been dedicated to serving our members in the co-operative spirit of mutualism and with a strong sense of social responsibility within our local community.

United is therefore committed to enriching our local communities by supporting a range of activities in those areas that matter the most to our members - health, education, the environment, sport and the arts.

While this might mean financial assistance, it can also be a whole lot more. Our support might mean rounding up some of our staff to lend a hand to a good cause, or wearing jeans or a silly shirt to raise funds for a local charity.

Across our branch network we pride ourselves on our personal relationships with the communities that we serve.

So a lot of the time you won't even hear about the little things we do - the flexible approach we take to helping the local soccer team, child-care centre, local primary school or innovative theatre group.

Supporting local communities

Each year United aim to increase its level of local community support, and can do so as more members join the Credit Union.

As part of our commitment to the community, we welcome opportunities to partner charities, organisations and local community groups.

If your group is seeking support, have a look at our guidelines and complete the application form above.
