At the beginning of the month, South Manchester Credit Union discussed what steps and actions it could take to help benefit its members and community.
“We wanted to give back and attempt to draw people together during such uncertain times,” said Sam Coleman, member of the Marketing Team at SMCU. “After a lot of consideration, SMCU decided music had to be involved and established the Sounds of South Manchester, a song contest for the whole community. The Sounds of South Manchester is a giant playlist compiled of 238 of the songs, which come from the heart of SMCU members, the real sounds of its community.
“We asked our community for their song suggestions and the stories that make that song so special to them,” added Sam. “With their song request they were entered into a prize draw for the chance to win £150. We received 300 entries. The number of entries and the amount of passionate and powerful stories simply blew us away.”
This week, the winner of the competition was announced and awarded £150.
