We need YOUR help

Volunteers are the backbone of credit unions and to develop our services further we need more volunteers.

As a volunteer with Stockton & Thornaby Credit Unions, you will:
Gain status in the community
Maintain job skills
Learn new skills
Gain a sense of personal achievement
Be helping others
Gain work experience
Meet new people & friends

Volunteers are essential to credit unions because:-
· Volunteers retain the credit union spirit.
· Volunteers keep a credit union in contact with its members.
· Experienced volunteers tell the success story of credit unions to others.
· Because they earn no money, volunteers are able to make fair decisions ensuring the focus is on working for the membership and community.
· The success of the movement supported and led by volunteers, shows what ‘grass-roots democracy’ can accomplish.

A volunteer is much more than free help. A volunteer is someone who:-
· Actively identifies with and works to reach the credit union’s objectives.
· Is willing to give time, energy and expertise.
· Wants to contribute and is not content to let others do the work.

We are looking for volunteer:
Collectors
Directors

Free training is provided and out of pocket expenses.

We are also looking for anyone with particular skills in finance, strategies, training, marketing and funding
