Thamesbank Credit Union
I met up with Cllr Matt Harmer last night and as promised he provided me with loads of leaflets regarding the Thamesbank Credit Union.Thamesbank Credit Union is a co-operative, owned and run by its members. It can provide ethical locally-run financial services to the whole community. As a not-for-profit organisation it offers competitive rates for loans and a safe place for savings.Although Credit Unions are ideal for everyone they are especially suitable for people excluded from the conventional banking system.Matt and his colleagues have been great in promoting this idea in the Brentford area during the last few years and it would be great if this could be extended to the Isleworth area as well.This is a great step to eliminating the loan sharks who prey on our local estates usually targeting the most vulnerable charging extortionate interest rates.If you would like more information then you can read about Thamesbank here at http://www.brentfordtw8.com/info/thamesbank.htm or if you are in the Isleworth area and would like me to drop a leaflet round to you then please e-mail me at paul.fisher@hounslow.gov.uk
