At the credit union, our volunteers are unique. They do more than improve the lives of those around them. More than build leadership skills as board directors or CEOs, or gain career experience as legal advisors or marketing specialists. At the credit union, when our volunteers give back, they do something more: they build a better community, by supporting a vital, not-for-profit, local financial service.

Without volunteers the credit union cannot exist, so we would encourage anyone with a few hours spare to come, help out, and help build on the community spirit!

To find out how you can volunteer for Abbey Credit Union, please send a message on here, an email to [email protected] or alternatively pop in and have a chat.

We are pleased to announce that Abbey Credit Union's chairman Sam Ferguson has been awarded a BEM for services to the Community of Newtownabbey. Sam had just recently celebrated his 90th birthday!

Sam has had continuous involvement in Abbey Credit Union since 1967 in a completely voluntary capacity.

Sam when speaking to the Newtownabbey Times stated: "When I found out I was to receive the BEM, I was overwhelmed, but felt proud and thankful. I would like to thank those at Abbey Credit Union who give up their time to assist and support me serving the community. I would also like to thank the community of Newtownabbey for putting their trust in Abbey Credit Union."

The Irish League of Credit Unions (ILCU) also sent congratulations and stated "This was a great recognition of Sam's dedication and tireless efforts in making a real difference in the lives of the individuals and communities in Newtownabbey and surrounding areas."

We at Abbey Credit Union are exceptionally proud of Sam and all he has done and continues to do with the Credit Union and look forward to the future.

Please take a look at the photo gallery below showcasing some of the excitement from Sam's day with his family at Hillsborough Castle accepting his award and receiving his medal.

As part of our charitable donations to local communities or charities, we at Abbey Credit Union proudly donated £500 to the Air Ambulance Northern Ireland (AANI) charity.

Some quick facts you may not know:

Air Ambulance NI is a charity in Northern Ireland and relies solely on public support to continue to operate.

The air ambulance service is activated on average twice daily to those following a serious trauma or medical emergency when life or limb are in the balance.

It costs approximately £7,000 per day to keep the service running. Thats a whopping £2.5 million per year.

For more information please visit - https://airambulanceni.org/

In the cheque presentation from the Air Ambulance are the following people:

Jonny (Secretary-ACU), Alan (Volunteer - AANI), Michael (Treasurer-ACU)
