Christine Garrity helped set up Pollok Credit Union after witnessing the cost to the community of dodgy money lenders, 30 years on she was presented with a British Empire Medal for her hard work.

A woman who helped found Glasgow’s largest Credit Union to tackle the blight of rogue money lenders and loan sharks within her community was presented with a British Empire Medal by the Lord Lieutenant.

She recalled: “There was a need in the local community. Pollok was quite a poor area. It’s not as bad now. But many poor people back then were at the mercy of loan sharks and I wanted to help them get access to low cost loans and banking facilities.” Christine, who’s well known in the area, ran the community bank with other volunteers as well as holding down jobs as a supervisor at Pollok Community Centre and latterly working at Leithland Neighbourhood Centre.
