At Community Credit Union, we believe that a thriving community is the foundation of success for all. As a member-owned financial cooperative, our commitment goes beyond providing financial services. Each year, we proudly invest over €100,000 in the people, causes, and organisations that shape our community, helping to foster growth, unity, and resilience. Here’s how we support our community year after year:
1. Financial Empowerment and Education
We are dedicated to enhancing the financial well-being of our members through education. From financial wellbeing workshops for school students to online banking tutorials for our senior memebrs, we ensure that every member of the community has access to the knowledge they need to make informed financial decisions. Our free educational programs are designed to build confidence and empower individuals to achieve their financial goals, whether that means buying a home, starting a business, or saving for the future.
2. Local Sponsorships and Partnerships
Supporting local organisations is at the heart of our mission. Each year, we partner with schools, non-profits, and community groups to fund programs that make a difference. From sponsoring local youth sports teams to contributing to community festivals and events, we help ensure that these vital activities continue to enrich our neighbourhoods. Our partnerships focus on initiatives that promote education, health, and social well-being, enhancing the quality of life for everyone in the community.
3. Charitable Giving and Fundraising
Through direct donations and employee-driven fundraising efforts, we contribute to various charitable causes that are close to the hearts of our members. We regularly work with local addiction rehabilitation centres like Coolmine TC & Tolka River Project, and make annual donations to local day-centres, breakfast clubs and charities such as the Simon Community & the National Children’s Hospital.
Join us in making a difference. Together, we can continue to support the community we’re proud to call home.
