At the Bridgend Lifesavers Credit Union AGM on 23rd June, members voted to approve a dividend of 0.75% for all members — and that includes every one of our School Savers! This means that every child saving through their school savings club will see a little extra added to their balance, simply as a reward for saving. Unlike a bank, credit unions are owned by their members, so when we do well, the benefits are shared with everyone — from our longest-standing adult members to a pupil who has just opened their very first account. For our young savers, the dividend is a brilliant real-life lesson in how saving works: the money you put away doesn’t just sit there — it grows. It’s also a reminder that every deposit counts, whether it’s 50p a week or a birthday windfall.
