Not all finance has to come from big banks. The “Bank of Dave” story is all about challenging the traditional banking model and putting people first .... and we're all about that☺️

It’s a reminder that credit unions have a huge role to play supporting those in our community and it highlights the power of credit unions and the difference they make💙

At Pennyburn Credit Union, we’ve been supporting our community for almost 6 decades. We're built on trust, fairness and putting our members first.

It's nothing new to us, sure we've been doing it all along🥰

Mental health challenges affect so many of us - across our community, our city and further afield. Chances are, someone you know is carrying more than they let on...and maybe, at times, you are too.

This years theme is Action. And while taking that first step can feel daunting, it's often that small, brave moment that opens the door to support. It could be as simple as speaking to someone you trust. Or reaching out and asking for help or support. Maybe it's simply allowing yourself to say, “I’m not okay today.”

If you’re struggling, please know that you’re not alone, and you don’t have to face it on your own. This week, let’s be a little kinder to ourselves and to each other.
Check in. Listen. Pay the compliment. Offer a helping hand. Share a smile.
It might mean very little to you, but it could mean everything to someone else💛

If you or someone you know needs support, help is available. Both services below are free to call and available 24/7 in NI:
📞 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝟬𝟴𝟬𝟴 𝟴𝟬𝟴 𝟴𝟬𝟬𝟬
📞 𝗦𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝟭𝟭𝟲 𝟭𝟮𝟯

Or reach out to a trusted friend, family member or local support services to see how they can help. Please tag any organisations below that could be of use:

𝗟𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗲 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 🎭✨

At the request of Studio 2, we’re helping spread the word about a local play heading to the Millennium Forum this June.

'𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘜𝘯𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭 𝘏𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘸𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘋𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘺 𝘙𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘈𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯' is a comedy that offers a tongue‑in‑cheek take on the Real Housewives phenomenon with, of course, a Derry twist. It follows a group of self‑styled housewives through friendships, fallouts and far‑from‑glamorous drama - Sounds like a good nights craic to me!😆

🎟️ You can book tickets at Millennium Forum Box Office or online via the website
