It was great to attend StepChange Debt Charity's Connected 2026 event yesterday and spend time with the incredible team we work alongside.We have built a strong partnership with StepChange to help identify and support people who may have borrowed from loan sharks. Through this collaboration, we've been able to reach individuals who might otherwise never have come forward.We know that sometimes borrowers do not initially realise they are dealing with a loan shark.

We look forward to contin#stoploansharksengland.#PartnershipWorkingg#financialwellbeingrking#FinancialWellbeing ...
