Have difficulty getting credit?

You need the Blackmore Vale Branch of First Dorset Credit Union, the first and biggest credit union in Dorset.

You can benefit from low interest rates on loans, and sensible and SECURE savings. Your savings are guarateed by the FSA and the fact that as a co-operative you are borrowing and saving within your comunity.

NO toxic bonds or finance, just local people helping each other in an ethical, freindly, and honest way.

We have now been open for a year and have many local members saving regularly, and we have been able to offer loans to many families and individuals, for purposes from school clothes to weddings.

Come and Join Us!

Credit unions are local ethical savings and lending financial services that operate flexible low-cost loans for people that need them.

Membership is open to anyone who lives or works in the Blackmore Vale area - that means anyone in the area covered roughly by Blackmore Vale Magazine and Vale FM local radio.

Blackmore Vale Branch's first 'service point' in Gillingham is open every Saturday between 10am and 12 noon (map)

Further service points will open in Shaftesbury, Sturminster Newton, Blandford and Mere as soon as enough volunteers come forward to staff them.

Blackmore Vale Branch is a fully-fledged branch of First Dorset Credit Union (FDCU), based in Dorchester. FDCU has a current membership of some 1200 and funds of nearly £500,000.
