Every successful credit union is built on thousands of decisions made in the best interests of its members.
Recently, UKCU member First Choice Credit Union celebrated its 400th Board meeting, an incredible milestone reflecting more than three decades of volunteer leadership, dedication and good governance.
From its beginnings as Haslingden & Helmshore Credit Union in 1993, through mergers, expansion and growth across Lancashire, the organisation has continually evolved while staying true to its purpose of serving members and strengthening communities.
Even more remarkably, two founding directors remain part of the Board today, demonstrating the long-term commitment that continues to underpin the credit union movement.
Congratulations to everyone at First Choice Credit Union on this outstanding achievement.
