JENNY Knowles a parent volunteer helper, Judy Barker, a financial trainer for the North Yorkshire Credit Union and children from St Mary’s RC School in Malton with the “saver” mascot they named Ryan during the launch of the Credit Union Savings Club at the school.
The credit union is now linked with the school, having previously launched at Norton CP School. It means St Mary’s pupils will get lessons in financial education with Judy.
The credit union is also launching a savings club which will encourage children to go along once a week before registration to put in their money.
The club is run by volunteers in the school and the children, who are paid a three per cent interest rate, receive a payment card, wallet and free gift for starting an account.
