Public Service Credit Union adopted a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Program in 2012 to support community organizations in Newfoundland and Labrador.
This CSR program formed partnerships with select charitable organizations throughout our community and approximately $25,000 annually has been directed toward helping these organizations achieve their goals. It has been a tremendous success on a number of levels including building a strong presence as a business that is truly invested in the betterment of its community and fostering a strong sense of pride among Members, Board and Employees that the PSCU was actually making a positive notable difference.
Since 2012 the PSCU has supported and fostered strong partnerships with community groups and charitable organizations. We have established ongoing commitments to: the health care sector, Canadian Cancer Society NL Daffodil Place, Young Adult Cancer Canada (YACC), Children’s Wish Foundation; bursaries and scholarships at both Memorial University-Marine Institute and College of the North Atlantic; support to Kids Eat Smart School Breakfast Programs; the arts community, the Resource Center for the Arts/LSPU Hall; Easter Seals, Canadian Armed Forces Resource Center, Special Olympics and many other organizations.
PSCU’s goal is to provide support and to build partnerships with our community groups as we assist in achieving their goals.
