About us
We are a not-for-profit savings and loans co-operative, originally registered on 8th August 2000.
We aim to operate a successful and ethical co-operative savings and loans business, which is socially, economically and environmentally sustainable and open to all people living and working in East Sussex, Brighton & Hove and all members of Unite the Union in the South East Region. To help us achieve this, we will:

- strive to ensure maximum member satisfaction with our services
- treat all members and potential members equally and promote equality of opportunity for members, volunteers and staff
- return our profits to our members or re-invest in accordance with co-operative principles
- develop communities in our work by combating poverty and its detrimental effects upon health, and educational attainment
- provide paid and voluntary work and training & development to people from within our trading area
- provide debt and money advice to those who cannot access our loans.
