FINANCIAL institution Bradford District Credit Union (BDCU) has welcomed an NHS Trust as one of two new Payroll Partners, it has revealed.

Airedale NHS Foundation Trust has signed up with BDCU to help increase the financial support available to its 3,500+ colleagues by providing them with access to a range of savings accounts and affordable loans.

As one of BDCU's Payroll Partners, the Trust can also offer its colleagues access to a payroll savings and loans scheme.

To celebrate the partnership, members of BDCU's senior management team visited Airedale General Hospital to talk to staff members and provide them with information about the financial resources now available to them.

Sarah Heys, Airedale Trust’s Wellbeing at Work Lead, said: "We'd like to say a big thank you to Bradford District Credit Union for taking the time to come and engage with Airedale colleagues in person, answering their questions and explaining what BDCU is able to offer."

AGH Solutions, a subsidiary of Airedale NHS Foundation Trust, has also partnered with BDCU.
