Introducing DCU pop-up's

Wednesday, 10th April 2024

Darlington Credit Union hosted our very first pop-up in our banking hall.

We hosted Ecologico at our branch for our first pop-up shop event on April 10th, 2024, transforming our banking hall into a hub of sustainability and money-saving. Members and non-members could come in and explore Ecologico's unique offerings, and discover eco-friendly products, and valuable information sharing. 

A message from Ruth, Ecologico's founder - “Ecologico is an eco-business like no other! We focus on saving money and easy eco for frazzled families. Every tip and product are tested on our family and we're happy to give you our 'filter-free' opinions and recommendations.” Find out more about Ecologico here - https://www.ecologicouk.com/

  

We have introduced this pop-up scheme to create and foster a unique environment in our banking hall, benefiting members, non-members, organisations, and business owners. As we look ahead, we aim to host monthly pop-up collaborations in our banking hall.
