Roger and Kirsty celebrating 15 years of Brecon and District Credit Union

Brecon and Radnorshire's AM and MP Kirsty Williams and Roger Williams have helped celebrate the 15th birthday of Brecon and District Credit Union at their open day on Friday, 3rd September.

Kirsty and Roger presented awards to two volunteers who have been with the Credit Union for 15 years, and saw first hand some of the great work that goes on at the Union.

Kirsty Williams AM said: "I was delighted to be able to help the Credit Union celebrate their 15 year anniversary. It is a fantastic community resource and gives access to credit to those who need it that otherwise might be forced into credit agreements with extortionate interest rates. I want to thank everyone at the Credit Union for their dedication and hard work; I see a continuing and bright future

Roger Williams MP said: "Brecon and District Credit Union is a fantastic organization. Over the last few years of the economic downturn, it is Credit Unions that have flourished across the UK, and the success story of Brecon and District Credit Union is testament to that. Their willingness to loan smaller amounts to individuals when High Street banks are less willing to do so is a lifeline for many. I wish them every success for the future.
