#RefugeeWeek is an important time to raise awareness of the dangers of loan sharks. Many refugees fleeing their country don't have access to banks and other mainstream financial services. This can make them an easy target to loan sharks when they are desperate for money. We’ve been working with Tulia – a charity that provides vital support to migrants and refugees – to raise awareness of the risks of borrowing from loan sharks and give advice on how to seek help if families are involved with an illegal lender.If you or someone you know are affected by this crime, we're here to help. We offer free and confidential support - any time, day or night. Call us on 0300 555 2222 ☎️ You can also chat to us online 👉 www.stoploansharks.co.uk ... See MoreSee Less
