A Message From Our CEO
2023 has been a year of both triumph and challenge for PCU.
We achieved record levels of growth:
- asset base now in excess of £13.5m,
- record levels of new members, and
- a loan portfolio of £8.6m.
But we also experienced the most challenging event with the death of our founder and father - Rev Carmel Jones on 22nd July. This shook us profoundly and we remember him with adoration and gratitude for the great legacy that he left and charged us to build upon. Ironically, his passing has also served to propel our plans for 2024.
So we look forward to the new year knowing that the Grace of God is the rock on which this organisation stands, nourishing us and providing all we need to thrive and prosper.
We have a wonderful agenda for 2024 for a renewed and replenished PCU and we look forward to our future knowing that our greatest achievements are still to come.
Thank you to our members and all our friends and supporters for being with us through thick and thin. We love and value you all and wish you all a most prosperous and wonderful new year
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. ...
Jeremiah 29:11. 11
