Broken Hill Community Credit Union has proudly been supporting the local community for 50 years and we remain committed to making a practical difference. 

Our point of difference is that we exist solely to support the people who are a part of our community. We do this by investing in community initiatives that support growth and wellbeing, while also providing sponsorship and partnering opportunities.

How we support you and the community

  • BHCCU continues to invest a percentage of profits back into Broken Hill and the surrounding areas because we want to help in building a sustainable and thriving community.

    Sponsorship is intended to build a mutual benefit between a business and another party. If BHCCU sponsors an organisation, this activity should provide a benefit to the community, and, in turn, this should provide opportunities for BHCCU to expand its customer base.

    For further information about sponsorship, including sponsorship categories, obligations and requirements, applications, prizes and awards, and our new partnership program, please refer to the BHCCU Community Engagement Program document.

    To apply for sponsorship, please submit a form here.

  • Does your business not have its own retail space? Do you sell items such as homewares, stationery, artwork, jewellery, clothing, ceramics, beauty and wellness products or non-perishable food items?

    If you answered yes to both of these questions then you are a prime candidate for our Community Corner.

    We recognise our community is full of talented local artisans, producers and designers. Our Community Corner provides them with an opportunity to showcase their products in our branch. There is no cost to the business and you don’t have to be a BHCCU member. The Community Corner can be booked for a two-week period and the business is responsible for working with our team to set up a visually appealing display.

    For more information, please refer to the BHCCU Community Engagement Program document.

    You can register your interest online here.

  • The BHCCU Community Boardroom is the perfect space for clubs and community organisations to hold their Annual General Meetings, conferences, strategy sessions or member registration days.

    This meeting space includes tables, chairs, audio, visual and technology systems, as well as complimentary Wi-Fi. Kitchen and bathroom facilities are also available.

    The Community Boardroom is for everyone. Current members can access this facility without cost*, while ‘not-yet-community group members’ can access this facility without cost for their first booking.

  • BHCCU is proud to offer both a school visit program and school excursion sponsorship program.

    The school visit program provides children with a hands-on practical learning experience on the reality of banking and managing money.

    During visits, children experience transactional-based activities, such as using the coin counting machine and depositing money at the counter. Students are engaged in a guided tour where they are shown through the branch and they participate in fun money-based activities assisted by our staff.

    As our branch remains operational during the excursion, class sizes are limited to a maximum of 18-20 children per excursion. The excursion runs for about one hour, depending on the size of the group. Teachers and/or teachers’ aides are required to assist with the facilitation of the excursion.

    BHCCU’s school excursion sponsorship program allows school fundraising committees to apply for financial sponsorship to support approved NSW education excursions.

    For more information, please refer to the BHCCU Community Engagement Program document.
