Clockwise Credit Union has been proud to give back to the community through our Community Grant Scheme. This year Clockwise has given out £5784 in Community Grants to local organisations.
When you save or borrow with Clockwise, your money is reinvested locally to make a positive impact. Through our Community Grant Scheme, we’ve supported local groups and individuals by providing grants for a wide range of projects and resources. These grants empower recipients to enhance the well-being of the communities they serve, creating lasting benefits for everyone involved.
Here are a few of our Community Grants throughout 2024. You can see all the grants we awarded in 2024, and previous years on our Community Grants page.

In August we gave £500 to Netherhall Community Association to provide food for a week at their holiday scheme through the Summer Holidays for families in Netherhall, along with those who are elderly and isolated, at a time when many are struggling
In September we gave £250 to Love4Life Charnwood who work to provide a safe space for local, vulnerable girls to access emotional and social support on challenges such as body image, self-esteem, confidence and healthy relationships.
In October we gave Raising Health £500, who provide community health and mental health support to over 1 million people across Leicester, Leicestershire, and Rutland.
in November Clockwise was able to award Zinthiya Trust a Community Grant to help them offer emergency accommodation for women fleeing abuse. The Zinthiya Trust work to alleviate poverty and abuse in Leicester and Leicestershire.
We’ll continue our work in the local community into 2025 and beyond. We want to thank all our members who save and borrow with Clockwise, as being a part of your local Credit Union means we’re able to be active in the community and support worthy causes.
