🦈🚫 Stop Loan Sharks Week 🚫🦈

If money worries are affecting you, remember: illegal money lenders (“loan sharks”) are never the answer.

Loan sharks may:
❌ Offer quick cash with no paperwork
❌ Use threats or intimidation
❌ Add unfair interest and hidden charges
❌ Take bank cards, passports, or valuables as security

At university, it’s important to know that support is available if you’re struggling financially.

💡 If you need help:

- Speak to your university support services.
- Reach out to trusted friends or family.
- Get free confidential advice from official organisations.
- Never feel pressured into borrowing from someone you don’t trust.

🔒 Stay safe and look out for your friends too.

If you need support, Oxford Brookes Security is available 24/7:
