Unify Credit Union
- http://www.unifycu.org/ -has had a
collection point in Shevington for the last three years. Pairs of volunteers
are available every Saturday morning from 10.30 – 11.30am in Shevington
Library,
What’s a credit union?
It’s a savings bank owned by its members, not by shareholders. You can pay
money into it as savings, or take money out as a loan. Savers or borrowers are
all members. Borrowers pay 1-2% a month on loans (on the reducing balance);
savers get around 1% interest per year on their savings. It is probably most
useful for loans of between £100 and £5,000.
What’s the work?
Volunteers have to collect payments from members, record them and pay them into
a Post Office. It’s relatively simple.
The rota for
volunteers is two‑weeks‑on‑four‑weeks‑off.
Volunteers who cannot manage a particular week arrange swaps with other
volunteers.
What help is needed? We need one or two more pairs of volunteers to
maintain the rota, so that duties do not come round too often. The more
volunteers we have the less frequent will be the duties. Volunteers would need
to be trained, probably at Shevington Library.
