The CU Challenge 2023 is for every Irish credit union on the island of Ireland. Whether walking with colleagues on your lunchbreak, cycling to work, going for a quick run or just going for a swim…the aim is for credit unions to go the distance around the 32 counties in 7 days.

However you do it, we’re here to support along the way. Through your involvement in the CU Challenge 2023 you’ll be supporting the ongoing development of credit unions in Sierra Leone and Ethiopia. After all credit unions are all about ‘people helping people’.

PS. There are trophies for the credit union teams who go the furthest distance! Who will be our CU Challenge 2023 Champions?
