We’re thrilled to share some exciting news: Great Western Credit Union is now a proud sponsor of the Cotswolds Radio Tuesday Breakfast Show!
Community radio is a powerful tool for connection, storytelling, and local engagement. It brings people together and amplifies local voices. That’s why we are so excited about our new partnership with Cotswolds Radio, a not-for-profit station dedicated to supporting communities, charities, events, and causes across the South West.
Why community radio matters
Community radio stations play an important role. Unlike commercial stations, they are run by the community, for the community, bringing people together through relevant and engaging stories. They provide a platform for small businesses and individuals who might not otherwise have their voices heard.
Cotswolds Radio is a perfect example of this in action. The station was founded during the pandemic, a time of uncertainty and isolation, with the mission to spread positivity and light. Their mission, ‘in the community, for the community, by the community’, perfectly aligns with the work we do at Great Western Credit Union.
A partnership with purpose
At Great Western Credit Union, our mission is simple: to provide fair, accessible financial services to help people across the South West build a more secure financial future. We exist to serve the community, offering alternative banking solutions such as affordable credit and safe savings across the South West, including those who may not have access to mainstream financial services.
We believe that financial wellbeing is an essential part of a thriving community. That’s why we’re always looking for new ways to reach people who can benefit from our services. Partnering with Cotswolds Radio allows us to connect with more listeners who share our values and might be looking for an alternative to traditional banking.
By sponsoring the Tuesday Breakfast Show, we are expanding our reach across the South West, ensuring that more people learn about the benefits of credit unions and community finance. This collaboration is more than just an advertising opportunity—it’s about strengthening our connection with local communities and ensuring that everyone, regardless of their financial background, knows there are fairer, more inclusive financial options available to them.
Let’s continue to support local initiatives, celebrate community-driven projects, and become better off, together.
