Fantastic community

I have been with the GWCU for quite some years now, and have always found the products and services on offer to be relevant, ethical and sustainable. I personally seek out businesses with this ethos, and the fact that there is a strong local connection, whilst maintaining a global outlook, means that I will continue to support this community and recommend family and friends to do the same.

Very satisfied customers and would recommend to friends and family. Friendly supportive to my needs which was a loan. Reviewed on: 12th August 2022

GOOD NEWS

I support this organisation because it supplies help to those who need it and are not able to obtain it from elsewhere. Hopefully their ethos will grow and grow.... Reviewed on: 11th August 2022

Quick and affordable

Using the portal online is simple and easy to follow customer services at the Bristol branch are very helpful and polite.
