That the Parliament congratulates everyone at Stirling Credit Union on it being awarded £11,400 by the Lloyds Banking Group; understands that this will be used to enable it to purchase new IT equipment and set up a reliable internet connection; notes that, due to the wide variety of services offered by the credit union, such as junior saving and payroll deduction schemes to encourage responsible saving, it has been credited as being one of the most innovative and forward-thinking; believes that Scotland continues to play a leading role in the expansion of credit unions, with the fourth-highest credit union membership level in Europe per-head of population, and wishes Stirling Credit Union continued success.
