It was fantastic to hear Wherry Dragon Credit Union mentioned in Parliament recently - not only for the brilliant work they do as a credit union, but also for their commitment to supporting the fight against loan sharks.During a debate in October, MPs discussed support for the co-operative movement and highlighted the valuable role credit unions play in communities across the country.Alice Macdonald, MP for Norwich North, gave a special mention to Wherry Dragon, saying: “I was just reading about Norwich’s Wherry Dragon credit union, which has won a national award for its campaign against loan sharks . . . we must therefore do more to support credit unions, to increase their access to finance and to support them as they take their first steps.”Earlier this year, Wherry Dragon became an official accredited partner of Stop Loan Sharks, receiving national recognition for its dedication to tackling illegal lending and the harm it causes.We’re pleased to see their hard work celebrated - and proud of the difference they’re making in our community.#StopLoanSharks#partnershipworking#stoploansharksengland ...
