Age means nothing to a loan shark. In 2022, 22% of people we supported were over the age of 55 going against the stereotype of a loan shark only targeting younger people. Loan Sharks can come in all shapes and sizes. If you think you or someone you know is involved with a loan shark contact us today on 0300 555 2222 or visit us on stoploansharks.co.uk #SLSEngland #stoploansharksengland ... See MoreSee Less

Sid the Shark dropped in to help with the Tales in the Park scheme in Stoke-on-Trent last week, and what else could he choose to share with young visitors, but Shark in the Park! Thanks to everyone who came along!
