About the CU Challenge 2025
From 10th to 16th October, we are challenging credit union teams to collectively walk or run 1 million steps a day for 7 days!
Kicking off on World Mental Health Day, get your team together and let’s make #EveryStepCount for 7 days. The CU Challenge finishes on International Credit Union Day, a day to celebrate the credit union movement across the world.
Get your credit union team ready, whether it is a team of 5 or 25 -encourage staff and volunteers to participate. Register now and start counting those steps this October to support credit union development.

Together, we are taking steps to build a path to enable independence and empower credit union members in the countries where we work.
About the International Development Foundation
The Irish League of Credit Unions established the International Development Foundation to share the Irish credit union experience. We work with credit union movements internationally to ensure a collective aim – financial inclusion for people and communities everywhere.
The Foundation provides access to the knowledge and expertise required to develop credit unions and supports the education and upskilling of staff, Boards and volunteers. This, in turn, ensures credit unions provide much-needed access to affordable financial services. Together we are working to achieve financial inclusion in low-income developing countries.
