Helping Our
Local Community

Over the last 10 years, we have donated over €1,000,000 to local clubs and groups through our community fund, sponsorship deals, bursary, and scholarship programs. 

Your Local Credit Union Helping Our Local Community

Croi Laighean Credit Union has always played a central role in the Kildare and Offaly communities, serving its members. Our members know and love CLCU for our friendly, personable, and face-to-face service. As a member-owned not-for-profit credit union, our work benefits our members and the local community. Each year, we provide great-value loans to our members, with most of them spending the funds locally, thereby boosting the local economy. You can view our latest Community Impact figures here, including loans issued, funding contributed, and how member banking supports local programmes.

What we Do

At Croi Laighean Credit Union, we actively engage with the community and frequently participate in charity events. Over the last 10 years, we have donated over €1,000,000 to local clubs and groups through our community fund, sponsorship deals, bursary, and scholarship programs. We remain committed to these activities because we believe that investing in our community fosters a thriving local environment that benefits everyone in the area.

Our Community Fund

As a local Credit Union, Croí Laighean dedicates itself to actively supporting and funding initiatives that benefit and assist people within our Common Bond.

This commitment led to the creation of the Community Fund, an initiative aimed at empowering local clubs and organisations to thrive and achieve their objectives.

Student Bursary

As a local Credit Union, we actively invest in our community. One of the ways we accomplish this is by annually granting the Croí Laighean Credit Union Student Bursary Award to two deserving students.

This esteemed award allocates €8,000 to each of the selected students, enabling them to financially support their third-level education.

Local Community Sponsorship

For over 50 years, we have actively served our local community as a source of assistance, not simply as a provider of funding.

We take pride in our legacy of empowering local individuals and clubs, and throughout the years, we have supported numerous projects through our Credit Union Local Community Sponsorship initiatives.

Club, Society, Association & School Accounts

Whether you’re seeking a safe and reliable platform to manage fundraising, grants, managing your finances matters, or simply require an account to facilitate payments to the local landscaper for maintaining the housing estate’s lawn, our organisation and club account is the ideal solution. You can now apply online without having to visit one of our branches!
