Fair4All Finance Transformation Fund Roadshows Conclude in London

14/05/2026

The final roadshow for the Fair4All Finance Credit Union Transformation Fund took place in London this week, bringing to a close a nationwide programme of engagement events following earlier sessions in Manchester and Birmingham.

The roadshows brought together credit unions, sector leaders and stakeholders from across England to discuss the future of the sector and help shape how future investment can best support sustainable growth and modernisation.

Throughout the programme, credit unions shared practical insight on the opportunities and challenges facing the movement, with discussions focusing on digital transformation, collaboration, operational sustainability and improving access to affordable financial services for communities across the country.

The engagement sessions form part of ongoing work to ensure the design and delivery of future funding reflects the priorities and experiences of credit unions themselves. The next stage of the process will focus on continued dialogue around funding allocation, governance and oversight arrangements, with the aim of creating a framework that delivers meaningful impact for the sector while ensuring strong engagement from credit unions and wider stakeholders.

Although the Transformation Fund is focused on supporting credit unions in England, the programme is also expected to generate wider benefits across the movement through shared learning, innovation and sector collaboration. Alongside this work, All Together Money will continue engaging with governments and stakeholders in Scotland and Wales to advocate for long-term investment and support for credit unions within the devolved nations.

Commenting on the conclusion of the roadshows, Matt Bland, Chief Executive of All Together Money, said: “The roadshows have provided a valuable opportunity for credit unions to directly influence the future direction of the Transformation Fund and ensure the sector’s voice is central to the process.

“What has come through clearly is the ambition across the movement to modernise, collaborate and grow in ways that strengthen financial inclusion and deliver even greater value to communities.

“As we move into the next phase, our focus will be on working closely with Fair4All Finance, credit unions and wider stakeholders to help shape robust governance arrangements and ensure future investment is targeted where it can have the greatest long-term impact for the sector.”
