Meeting for Sufferings: Credit unions
Meeting for Sufferings heard of a concern from Welsh Friends
The number of people in Britain who live in poverty today and who do not have access to financial services has been a concern of Friends in Wales.
In May Friends attending North Wales Area Meeting/Cyfarfod Rhanbarth Gogledd Cymru produced a minute that encouraged Friends to explore the possibility of setting up a national Quaker Credit Union. This organisation, operating through Area Meetings, would be based principally in areas where there is no credit union coverage at present.
