We are a financial co-operative based in Sheffield which offers a savings and loans service.  

The ethos is that a group of people - in this case anyone who lives or works in Sheffield - form a mutual help group by becoming members and pooling regular savings  From this pool the members can then take out affordable loans if they need one.  

Sadly the Stocksbridge Advice Centre had to close earlier this year due to funding cuts.

However the good news is that the Sheffield Citizens Advice and Law Centre (SCALC) will be holding weekly Outreach sessions at the Stocksbridge Advice Centre from Thursday 13th February from 10-00am to 1.00pm. 

If you need advice or information contact SCALC by phone or through the website.

The group is planning to create a safe, flat and traffic free route along the valley bottom between Stocksbridge and Deepcar.

It is threatened by the proposed closure of Ford Lane due to the retail development in Stocksbridge and the issue is now the subject of a Public Enquiry.
