Athenry Credit Union launches €200,000 Community Fund to celebrate 60 years of service
Thu, Feb 05, 2026
This year marks a proud milestone for Athenry Credit Union – 60 years of serving our members, supporting local families, and standing shoulder to shoulder with the communities of Athenry and the surrounding areas, together with the communities of each subbranch in more recent years. Since our foundation in 1966, our purpose has always been simple and strong: people helping people.
To celebrate this anniversary in a meaningful way, we are delighted to launch a NEW Community Fund Initiative, committing up to €200,000 to support local community groups, clubs, schools and voluntary organisations.
The Community Fund initiative has been established to provide support to community-based groups that enrich our community through their dedication and hard work. We want to assist groups, clubs, schools with funding which will allow them to take an additional step towards strengthening the development of the community they are involved within along with fostering growth, inclusion and positive social impact.
