TIPS FOR TAKING PART
The CU Challenge 2022 is for every credit union on the island of Ireland. Whether walking with colleagues on your lunchbreak, walking with friends after work or just adding more steps into your daily routine, the aim is to walk as many steps as you can!
However you do it, we’re here to support your every step. And through your involvement and fundraising, you’ll also be supporting the ongoing development of credit unions in The Gambia, Sierra Leone and Ethiopia. After all credit unions are all about ‘people helping people’.
PS. There are trophies for the credit unions who walk the most the steps! Is your CU ready for the Challenge?
