📣 We’re getting ready for Stop Loan Sharks Week 2025 – happening from 19th to 25th May – and we’d love your support in helping us tackle illegal money lending across England. 🛑🦈This year’s theme is: "We’re here whenever you’re ready." We know it can be really tough for someone to reach out. Many people feel scared, trapped, or even blame themselves after borrowing from a loan shark. Some wait up to four years before they feel ready to talk to us. That’s why we want everyone to know:There’s no pressure and no judgement when they contact us. Whether someone wants advice, support, or just someone to talk to, we’re here, and we’ll go at their pace.And there are no call centres or robots here! When someone picks up the phone, they’ll speak to a real, friendly, trained officer who genuinely wants to help. 💚If you’d like to support the campaign, we’ve put together a fab new toolkit full of social media posts and a ready-to-use blog — perfect for spreading the word:👉 www.stoploansharks.co.uk/social-media-toolkit-3-2Thank you to everyone who continues to stand with us.Together, we can stop loan sharks.#herewhenyoureready#SupportNotPressure#StopLoanSharks ...

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 #stoploansharksengland ... See MoreSee Less

Thanks to @StaffsPolice for having us along to share ideas on spotting loan sharks in communities. Illegal lending often links to crimes like drugs, violence & theft. We’re making sure loan sharks are punished for their illegal lending too.

Loan Sharks can affect more than funds, they can use manipulative and aggressive tactics to get their way at the expense of someone else. If you or someone you know might be involved with a loan shark contact one of our team today - http://www.stoploansharks.co.uk #StopLoanSharksEngland
