The partnership is working with the England Illegal Money Lending Team (IMLT),to run a month long campaign in November to highlight what ‘loan sharks’ are, how to report them and what support is available to victims. During the week commencing the 24th Nov, we will be piloting a more intensive activity in Felling, Deckham and Bensham, if successful we will be rolling this out to other parts of the borough.
For those pharmacy’s in the pilot areas we are offering training to front line staff, free IMLT resources such as posters, leaflets and free pharmacy bags
If you would like to know more about the campaign or be involved please contact Judith Broder the CouncilsFinancial Inclusion Co-ordinator on 433 2037 or by email judithbroder@gateshead.gov.uk
