• You are aged over 18 and entering a third level or higher-level education course on a full or part basis.
• You have not received a previous bursary from Newington HA.

Are you a tenant of Newington Housing Association – Why not join our Credit Union Match Savings Scheme?

Newington Housing continues to work in partnership with Newington Credit Union to deliver a Match Savings Scheme for our tenants. When joining the Scheme, you must initially save a minimum of £10 per month on a regular basis for the first 6 months.

At the end of the 6 months, the Association will check with Newington Credit Union to ensure you have adhered to the terms of the Scheme. If you have met the terms of the Scheme, the Association will deposit the amount of £60.00 (i.e., match the minimum savings amount you will have saved over the first 6 months into your account as a reward).

Tenants can qualify for Newington’s Match Savings Scheme if they do not currently have a credit union account or if your credit union account has been inactive for more than 2 years.

If any tenant is interested in joining the Match Savings Scheme, please call us on 028 9074 4005 and we will be happy to assist you through the application process.
