About Credit Unions
» Consultancy and Training

Successful credit unions have the support of their local authority and other important local stakeholders. In the past few years, it has been these credit unions which have contributed so much to the growth figures we are now seeing. The Local Government Association recognises this and has published guidance note for its members. Visible, well supported credit unions attract members in their thousands and can become sustainable within three to five years.

ABCUL employs over 20 staff around Britain, including staff in London funded by the ALG. ABCUL also has a network of skilled associates. We have years of experience of working with local authorities to help them build successful credit unions which make a real difference to communities in both financial and social terms.
