Answered by Keith Brown on 15 May 2009 · 14 days after it was lodged, on time

The Scottish Centre for Financial Education (SCFE) has supported a number of financial inclusion initiatives supported by credit unions in Glasgow since 2006. These have included working with:
Pollok Credit Union
Greater Easterhouse Money Advice Project
Greater Easterhouse Credit Union
In addition, the SCFE is developing a Credit Union in Schools support pack in partnership with Glasgow City Council. This should be available later this year.
A number of credit unions have also been involved in SCFE training events for teachers since 1 January 2008:
Govan Credit Union
Capital Credit Union
East Ayrshire Credit Union
Discovery Credit Union
NESCU (North East Scotland Credit Union);
Clackmannanshire Credit Union
West Lothian Credit Union Forum
Forres Area Credit Union,
All of this activity has necessarily involved discussions between SCFE and credit unions.
