Leeds Credit Union is owned by its members. Unlike profit-driven banks, our structure allows us to support our local community. We fund money management classes, support local charities, and run programs to boost Yorkshire's economy.
We organize free monthly classes at local community centres and partner housing complexes to teach practical budgeting, saving techniques, and how to avoid high-cost debt traps.
Every year, a portion of our operating surplus is donated directly to food banks, emergency housing services, and community youth sports clubs in Yorkshire.
We collaborate closely with major local housing associations (like Leeds Federated and Yorkshire Housing) to support tenants with affordable savings programs and debt counseling.
"We are immensely proud of our cooperative heritage. Working with local councils and partners, we ensure that affordable ethical finance is available to everyone, particularly those facing financial challenges."
