Calderdale Credit Union

The Credit Union was first registered in April 1993 as Calderdale MBC Employees Credit Union.

An application was made to seek to gain approval from the regulator to alter the common bond to a ‘live or work’ qualification which would enable the Credit Union to offer its services to a wider membership base.

In July 2003, a number of smaller Credit Unions within the Borough merged to become Calderdale Credit Union. there is a small office in the centre of Todmorden which is open three times a week. Staff moved into the new building in December 2013.

In August 2017, the Credit Union has expanded into Kirklees, merged with St Patricks in Huddersfield opening up a new office. The new office’s central location on Queens Street is designed to restore local access to credit union services. The new branch is the start of establishing a more visible presence for the credit union

Calderdale Credit Union in 2023 set up its first Food Pantry, using the Food Saver model devised successfully by In23nChurches. The pantries are set up in a similar manner to a corner shop, with customers choosing their own food within a budget that has been set by that particular pantry. By involving the credit union as the saving element, this provides people within the community with financial resilience for the future, by enabling them to add to their credit union savings account whilst completing their food shop.
