Best place to put savings

Hi, need some advice on where to put my savings which are currently held in a credit union savings account. They have always paid more than the abysmal banks have over the past 3 years but this year they only paid out 1.5% in dividends which was disappointing considering how much rates have gone up in past 12 months. 
I have approximately 55k in it. I am happy to consider moving some into a interest paying current account if it’s worth it so don’t mind splitting it between a current (or multiple current accounts) and savings account(s). The only catch for the savings account is that it has to be an easy access savings account or one that lets you withdraw a limited amount of times.

What is the best option(s) to get the most out of my savings?

Many thanks in advance
