About Us

West Lothian Credit Union Forum was formed in 1999 by the three credit unions operating in West Lothian (Blackburn Seafield & District, Capital and Livingston) as well as West Lothian Council to promote credit union membership to all who live or work in West Lothian, particularly those who are financially excluded.

The objective of this Forum is to advance the education of the general public, in particular the inhabitants of West Lothian, by increasing the public knowledge and awareness of the contribution which Credit Unions can make to getting better value financial services.

In furtherance of this objective the Forum aims to:

1. Encourage dialogue between Credit Unions, Community Groups and Organisations and with other public and private agencies.
2. Formulate a collective approach to issues which are likely to affect the interests of Credit Unions generally.
3. Organise seminars, workshops and conferences to promote understanding of Credit Unions.
4. Support the development of new and existing Credit Unions through the recruitment and training of volunteers.

West Lothian Credit Union Forum is a member of the West Lothian Financial Inclusion Network.
