People First Credit Union Launches Community Loans

People First Credit Union is excited to announce the launch of our new Community Loans, designed specifically to support the aspirations of community groups.

The launch event, held at the picturesque Emo Court, featured Laois PPN staff member Dan Bergin, who shared insights on the positive impact these loans will have on local communities.

The People First Community Loan is tailored to help community groups bring their visions to life by providing the necessary funding to support their initiatives. Whether it's a community project, facility improvement, or other local endeavours, our Community Loans are here to make a difference.

In addition to our Community Loans, we are pleased to announce a strategic partnership with Community Finance Ireland. This collaboration enhances our lending opportunities, especially for community groups that may require larger funding amounts. Through our co-funding process with Community Finance Ireland, we can provide even greater support to those who need it.

"We are delighted to partner with Community Finance Ireland, as it allows us to offer more robust financial solutions to community groups. This partnership underscores our commitment to fostering community growth and development," said Carol Murphy Marketing Manager from People First Credit Union.

Community groups interested in applying for a loan or learning more about our enhanced lending opportunities are encouraged to visit our website for more details: https://peoplefirstcu.ie/loans/community-loan

Together, let's make our community's vision a reality.
