In this episode we chat with Dagmar Grafton of Manningtree Credit Union which provides community based banking in our area. We learn 

• A little about Dagmar, including how she recently became a UK Citizen after 50 years of residency
• That while the Credit Union provides banking services, with all the regulatory supervision of a bank it is a community based not for profit organisation
• Credit Unions are member-owned financial co-operative, democratically controlled by its members, which offers convenient savings and low interest loans to its members.
• That Manningtree Credit Union has a physical presence every Friday morning at the Hub (just next to the Mogul Restaurant) - all are welcome between 10am & 12 Noon
