The Mission
We are able to offer the sessions to groups of between 5 and 400, funding is currently available upto Christmas 2009 for groups working with 16 - 25 year olds, for other groups please contact us for details of costs.
We are very conscious of the need for absolute confidentiality, and have full current CRB checks.
Please feel free to contact us to discuss how we can help.
Current Projects
Our current projects are "One Family's Story", "It's Only A Few Quid", and now
"Bust".
One of our shows, 'It's only A Few Quid' looks at the effects Loan Sharks have on families. Please see Projects section above. In order to gain support if you, or anybody you know is affected by this issue please call the Loan Shark Helpline.
The Loan Shark Helpline number is:
0300 555 2222
available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, by the Illegal Money Lending Team. You will speak in confidence to a member of the team personally, not a call centre. The team are best placed to investigate, prosecute and convict loan sharks based on the smallest amount of information, quite often this can confirm something they are already aware of, if you can please help.
