Cannock Chase residents are now able to save and borrow with a Credit Union that is offering its services in the District.

Fusion Credit Union has been operating in Lichfield since 2005 and, thanks to funding from Cannock Chase Council, are now offering these services to people living and working in Cannock Chase District.

Credit Unions are not-for-profit financial co-operatives that pool members' savings to make low-cost loans to other members. Fusion is operated entirely by volunteers and an appeal has been made to people in the District to make sure it is a huge success in Cannock Chase.

It costs just £2 to become a member of Fusion Credit Union.

As well as being able to save and borrow, Fusion Credit Union also has a special junior account and offers loans for home deposits and insurance. Log on to http://www.fusioncreditunion.co.uk/ for more information.

People interested in becoming a Fusion Credit Union volunteer should email info@fusioncreditunion.co.uk or call 01543 415032 or 07972 656182.

The Fusion Credit Union Collection Point is open in Cannock Chase at Hednesford Library on Wednesday's 11am to 1pm.
