Resources, newsletters and other support agencies

Stop Loan Sharks works with partner organisations across England to raise awareness, deliver training and support anti-loan shark initiatives. We have a range of resources available to help partners share our key messages and raise awareness in local communities. These include posters, leaflets, promotional items, social media toolkits and education packs. These can be downloaded for you to print or use digitally, or printed copies can be ordered.

To request any promotional items, please email press@stoploansharks.gov.uk
