A CREDIT union in Darlington has launched its own website.
Firthmoor, Eastbourne and Lascelles Credit Union spokesman Gary Sayers hopes the website will encourage more people to take advantage of the scheme, which offers low rate loans.
Mr Sayers said: "We are hopeful that people's awareness of the credit union will improve, so we can provide our affordable money lending to a larger proportion of the community. This will help us in our combat against high interest money lenders and loan sharks in the area."
The credit union is expanding with the help of a grant from the Single Regeneration Budget to Firthmoor.
The website address is www.felcreditunion.co.uk
