Back in July, we were delighted to find out that we had secured £5K from the Illegal Money Lending Team (IMLT) after running a successful loan shark campaign last year.
This pot of funding joins the £3K national prize money that we won from IMLT’s Stop Loan Sharks Project for the fantastic awareness raising scheme that we delivered using #cheltenhamsaysno
Since then we’ve been working hard to create an even bigger and better campaign.
We’re delighted to report that we were given the green light by the IMLT to advertise on the back of our vans the importance of steering clear from these illegal money lenders.
Keep your eyes peeled as we will be hitting the road with our exciting new campaign to keep the wolf from the door!
We’ve even got picture evidence below:
Sid the Shark and Glenda the Lenda get ready for the ride around town
We will also be dropping by the The Moors, Peter’s Square, St Peter’s Close, Yarnold Terrace and St Paul’s to spread the word far and wide with a leaflet drop to warn residents about the dangers of loan sharks.
