Glenda the Lender had a fantastic time at #daltontogether, teaming up with Bradford District Credit Union to help raise awareness about the dangers of illegal lending and how to borrow safely.It was great to see such a strong turnout at the DRAM Community Centre – including local councillors!If you're facing unexpected costs or finding it hard to manage day-to-day expenses, you may find yourself being offered a quick loan from someone who seems helpful. But loan sharks are anything but friendly - their offers of help come with serious risks.Instead, consider turning to a credit union like BDCU. They offer safe borrowing options with your best interests at heart.Check out a few snaps from the day bel#communitysupportp#financialeducationa#stoploansharksenglandgland ... See MoreSee Less

Loan sharks trap and manipulate their borrowers, making them think it is their fault they are in this situation. No one should be made to feel ashamed of the position someone else has put them in. Loan sharks are the ones to blame for your debt to them. No borrower should feel any blame or shame for being entrapped by a loan shark. We are here to help and support anyone in the grasp of a loan shark, contact the team today - www.stoploanshark.co.uk #stoploansharksengland ... See MoreSee Less

What an amazing day at Northfield Beach today! So many families came out to enjoy the sand and fantastic activities. This free event, organised by Northfield Community Partnership, kicked off today with No Sharks at the Beach Day – well, except for one . . . 🦈Sid the Shark was out and about, posing for selfies, playing in the sand, and (thankfully) not scaring the little ones! 😂The 360° Aqua Dome outdoor cinema was a huge hit too, showing fun beach and shark-themed films all day long!The summer extravaganza continues every day until Sunday, at Victoria Common (behind Northfield Shopping Centre), from 10am - 4pm.Did you get a pic with Sid today? We’d love to see them - share your photos in the comments!#stoploansharksengland#StopLoanSharks#NorthfieldBeach ... See MoreSee Less
