Celebrating 20 Years of Local, Ethical Financial Services

For two decades, Hoot Credit Union has been dedicated to providing local, ethical financial services to the people of Bolton.

To mark this incredible milestone, we’re giving back in a way that reflects our commitment to our members, our communities, and the planet.

We’re planting up to 1,000 trees in 2025

Each tree represents a new member who joins Hoot Credit Union during 2025

Together, we’re creating a legacy of care, responsibility, and positive action

Hoot Credit Union – Planting Trees for the Future

Planting trees is our way of living out our ethos as an ethical organisation that truly cares. It’s about more than just numbers – it’s about creating a better, greener world for everyone.

Local and Global Impact

Our trees will be planted both locally and internationally, supporting reforestation organisations working in areas severely affected by deforestation. This isn’t just about planting trees – it’s about rebuilding ecosystems, protecting habitats, and fostering green skills for the future.

Here’s how our tree-planting initiative makes an impact:

Tackling Climate Change

Our trees will offset an estimated 29,100 kg of CO2 in their first year alone, equivalent to 63,500 lbs.

Enhancing Wellbeing

Trees in Greater Manchester will help create greener spaces, boost mental health, and bring communities together.

Promoting Education and Awareness

By supporting global reforestation projects, we’re empowering communities to restore forests, protect habitats, and enhance biodiversity.

Planting Trees For the Benefit of Future Generations

At Hoot Credit Union, we’ve always put our members first.

Let’s grow something extraordinary

This initiative is a celebration of 20 years of service, but it’s also a step towards ensuring a brighter, greener future for our members and their families. Together, we’re creating a legacy of care, responsibility, and positive action.

Join Hoot Credit Union in 2025 – and help us plant a tree for every new member!
Because when we plant today, we grow a better tomorrow…
