We welcomed some special visitors last month: CU professionals all the way from Ghana! 🇬🇭 A team of 12 from CUA Ghana Co-operative Credit Union Association joined LPCU as part of a programme with Financial Inclusion Advocacy Centre. A brilliant exchange of ideas, and a reminder that #PeopleHelpingPeople is a truly global mission.

Not all debt is created equal - and neither are the interest rates attached to it. Who you borrow from plays a big role in how much you’ll end up repaying. Understanding who you’re borrowing from is just as important as how much you’re borrowing!

Whether it's the man who raised you, a fatherly figure, or a mother who juggled it all, many of us have a "dad" in our lives. 🦸‍♂️ So you'll want to say how grateful you are this Sunday. Even if your budget has other ideas! The good news? The best gifts don't cost a thing:

⁉️ To borrow or not to borrow... this can be a tricky question! However, it's one we ensure everyone asks themself before applying for a loan. So, when is borrowing a smart choice, and when is it a silly one? This map will help members navigate the next financial move! 🗺️

Scam alert! 🚨 Criminals are contacting people about claiming Winter Fuel Payments following last week's news. These payments will be automatic, so you would NEVER need to apply for it. Don't give fraudsters your personal or financial details. Please spread the word. ⬇️ 1/2

We want to support others like LPCU; those doing good things in Lewisham & Bromley. Memberships aren't limited to individuals; local charities and societies can join us, too. ♻️ It's another way we keep money in our community, so if you work in SE London, this could be for you!

Loans are a lifeline, not a privilege. However, bigger banks don't have that ethos, meaning millions across the UK are denied affordable credit when they need them most. 📉 Which is why we have a different outlook when it comes to lending. People always come before profit!

Sound familiar? According to YouGov, 8 in 10 Brits say prices are rising faster than their incomes. 💸 It's not an ideal situation, but we've all got to adjust. Whilst there's no quick fix, this survival kit will help you cope with the cost of living!: moneysavingexpert.com/family/cost-of…

Credit unions like LPCU offer safe, affordable alternatives to banks. We do things differently, putting our profits back into your community. High interest rates, loan approvals made based solely on credit scores, lack of access to savings... we're not falling for any of it! ✅

💬 The boroughs of Lewisham and Bromley are full of wonderful people doing wonderful things, which makes feedback like this all the more rewarding. And we're as grateful for our members as we hope they are for us. At LPCU, people truly do come before profit. 🌟
