We’re proud to be supporting West Midlands Police’s Operation Fearless.
It’s great to see partners coming together to tackle the issues that matter most to people around Soho Road and the Handsworth Triangle in Birmingham, helping make the area safer for everyone who lives, works and visits.
If you’re nearby, keep an eye out for our Stop Loan Sharks billboards. One of our key messages as part of this campaign is to highlight the link between illegal lending and gambling.
Loan sharks often target people when they’re under pressure - for example, if they need quick cash to keep gambling. That’s when it’s easiest to get trapped.
If this sounds like you or someone you know, you’re not alone - we’re here to help.
