COPELAND Council has extended funding to a credit union to help those in need get back on an even keel.
The council has a long-standing funding agreement with the Whitehaven, Egremont and District Credit Union, helping families and individuals access grants when they are experiencing hardship.
Because of the pandemic and the extra financial pressure it has caused for some residents, the council has extended this funding by £20,000.
