𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗺𝗮𝘇𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁! 💙

Last month, we were delighted to support Polly through the Evolve Credit Union Community Fund.

Polly (centre), pictured with her sister Eliza, cousin Ralph and Auntie Louise, took on the challenge of running a mile every day throughout May to raise money for the Childrens Heartbeat Trust - a charity that is especially close to her family's heart.

Eliza was born with a congenital heart defect and is currently awaiting surgery. Wanting to help other babies and children facing similar challenges, Polly set herself a fundraising target of £200.

Safe to say she absolutely smashed it! 👏

After running almost 40 miles, Polly raised an incredible £3,695 for the charity.

We're so proud to have played a small part in supporting such a fantastic local fundraising effort. Polly, you should be incredibly proud of yourself, what a brilliant example of kindness, determination and community spirit.

From everyone at Evolve Credit Union, well done Polly, and we’re sending our very best wishes to Eliza and the whole family 💙

To mark our neighbours Mcgroggans closing their doors this weekend, we thought we’d treat the Ballymena team to one last taste of nostalgia 🍦💙

A Ballymena institution for generations, McGroggan’s has been part of so many childhood memories, family trips into town and sunny days over the years.

Wishing the McGroggan family all the very best as they close this chapter, they’ll certainly be missed around William Street 😢

What are your favourite memories of McGroggan’s over the years? Let us know in the comments ⤵️

That’s too good a day to stay inside ☀️

Teams across our branches took the opportunity to get out for a walk this morning and enjoy the sunshine before getting back to help our members ahead of opening. 🚶

Sometimes a bit of fresh air and a quick reset can make all the difference! 💙

How are you making the most of the good weather this week? 😎

We know the cost of everything, including heating and improving your home, continues to rise.

That’s why our 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗛𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗟𝗼𝗮𝗻𝘀 are designed to help members spread the cost of energy-efficient upgrades in a more manageable way.

Our Green Home Improvement Loans can help support upgrades including:
🏡 Insulation
☀️ Solar panels
🔥 Heating improvements
🚪 Windows & doors

All while helping reduce energy costs over time. Available from just 5.9%.

For example, a £10,000 loan over 60 months for solar panels would cost approximately £192.90 per month at 6.06% Representative APR.
