I am a Board member of the Co-operative Credit Union (CCU) and have additionally served on its Audit, Risk and Nominations Committees. I participated in the Credit Union’s recent purpose project, which re-affirmed our core values and co-operative principles. This experience has given me a good working knowledge about credit unions, co-operative financial organisations, the mutual sector and governance more generally. All credit unions are co-operatives and have an important role providing financial services on a mutual basis, often to some of the most vulnerable in society.
I am a member and customer of the Co-operative Group, Co-operative Energy and the Phone Co-operative and have banked with The Co-operative Bank since the introduction of their ethical policy.
