In response to Archbishop Welby’s credit-union plea, All Saints’ Church, Murston, opened a branch of the local credit union, Kent Savers, in late January.
The scheme, known as the Murston Community Bank, is a place where parishioners can put their savings. It also offers them loans at reasonable rates. The director of the Diocese of Canterbury’s Communities and Partnerships Framework, The Rev. Canon Caroline Pinchbeck, said: ‘We hope that Murston Community Bank will become a model to replicate’.
