The eighth Edward Filenne Credit Union Awards for Excellence were held in Manchester City Centre and the Unify team walked away with three accolades including a 'Special Award for Excellence in Film Production' for their school development project and a special Halloween-themed Credit Union Awareness Week, as well as an award for 'Hosting Saving Schemes for Primary and Secondary School Pupils' and another for the 'Use of the Media'.

 

Angela Fishwick, Chief executive of Unify Credit Union said: "As a team, we work really hard to support people living in Wigan borough, so we are delighted to have won these awards for our work, which has helped us increase awareness of how a credit union is a better way to borrow and save. I would like to thank all of the Unify team for their continued dedication and also thank our partner PR company Yellow Jigsaw for their media skills that have helped raised our profile."

 

The awards dinner celebrated those who have successfully participated in the Filene and Biden Awards programme by showcasing their efforts and achievements. They also give an opportunity for those involved in the co-operative credit union movement to meet others from this country and other parts of the world.
