MANDEVILLE, Manchester — The Manchester Co-operative Credit Union (MCCU) recently assisted one of its members with a grant of $300,000 towards repairing her home after it was damaged nearly three months ago during the passage of Hurricane Beryl.

In a statement, MCCU said its member, Theresa Williams, suffered significant damages to her home as her roof, furniture and other sections were damaged.

“The Manchester Co-op Credit Union recognising the immediate need for aid, made a financial contribution to help Miss T Williams with the recovery process. This initiative was made possible through its ‘MCCU We Care Programme’. This move highlighted the credit union’s unique approach to giving financial assistance, driven by the collective strength and compassion of its membership. As a member-owned institution, the Manchester Co-operative Credit Union prides itself on prioritising the welfare of its members and responding proactively to their needs,” the statement read in part.

“Miss T Williams expressed her profound gratitude for the support she received. The Manchester Co-operative Credit Union continues to lead by example, reinforcing its role as a cornerstone of community support and resilience,” the statement added.
