Bradford District Credit Union has welcomed budget measures that would provide more funding for the services it provides.

Ian Brewer is community development manager for the union, which was established 30 years ago and now has 10,500 members.

He was speaking on the eve of the union’s annual Talk Money Week, which begins today and runs until Friday November 8.

Some of Bradford’s leading institutions are involved in promoting responsible saving and financial management, including the University of Bradford, Bradford Teaching Hospitals and the BD25 City of Culture team.
