Meeting for Sufferings: Credit unions

Meeting for Sufferings heard of a concern from Welsh Friends

by The Friend Newsdesk 11th September 2015

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.
