Illegal Money Lending

StreetGames is working with the Illegal Money Lending Team (IMLT) and Credit Unions to raise awareness amongst disadvantaged young people about the dangers of loan sharks and illegal money lending.  StreetGames is currently working with partners in 7 areas to pilot the ‘StreetSavers’ project.

The main aims of the programme are:

·To raise awareness amongst disadvantaged young people about the dangers of loan sharks – how they operate and where they act; and illegal money lending; and

·To promote and encourage the use of Credit Unions as a responsible way of saving.
