Renfrewshire-Wide Credit Union’s Linwood outreach is moving to the Linstone Hub Belmar Court, starting Monday 5th June 2017

Starting Monday 5^th of June 2017 Renfrewshire-Wide Credit Union’s (RWCU) Linwood outreach is moving from the Tweedie Hall in Linwood to the Linstone Hub.  The partnership with Linstone has enabled the move and will help the tenants and other members in the Linwood community gain access to the products and services that are available from Renfrewshire-Wide Credit Union on their doorstep.

Linstone Housing Association’s Tenant Liaison Officer, Margaret Baillie, said: “We are very excited that Renfrewshire-Wide Credit Union is moving to the community Hub in Belmar Court, currently there is no bank in Linwood and as Belmar Court is in a central location, it will give the community of Linwood the chance to save and enjoy the many benefits the credit union provide, there will be a warm welcome to all who visit and the chance for the community to meet up and a nice cup of tea will always be offered to all.”

RWCU was established in 2006 after a group of volunteers from the local areas of Linwood, Erskine and Renfrew decided to work together to ensure that everyone who worked or lived in Renfrewshire had access to a credit union. From their hard work, Renfrewshire-Wide Credit Union was born.  Ten years later Renfrewshire-Wide Credit Union is proud to be serving the community to provide access to affordable, ethical financial services, as well as working with local schools to educate our young people on the benefits of saving via the Renfrewshire-Wide Credit Union CashCubs program.

RWCU’S Marketing Officer, Paula Ferrier, said: “Our aim at Renfrewshire-Wide Credit Union has always been to promote ethical, affordable financial choices.  We believe that our credit union services and products offer the people of Renfrewshire a great value, community based alternative to the poor deals offered elsewhere.  You don’t have to be a Linstone resident to come along; the outreach is open to the whole community of Linwood.  If you are interested in joining the credit union or would like to find out more information on the products and services that are available, then pop in on Monday 5^th of June for a cup of tea and chat with our Linwood volunteers Margaret Gourlay and Elizabeth Anderson.
