Why did you report this?

Thanks a bunch.

I'm a long time member of this site and Lend With Care is a genuine charity which is helping people.

You can look it up for yourself and check it out.

I know it’s not easy but try to ignore the ignorance.

Ive lent money for years. It helps an awful lot of people.

Checked up, its been around for some time - see this article -

Seems as valid as other causes that have appeared on GN.

I just thought I'd post about it because of the offer of £15 towards a first loan, for anyone who uses the code.

The people involved ask for very small loans to make a big difference in their lives and they repay it, meaning the money can be used again.

Been donating to this for years. Every loan has been repaid in full.

They do a lot of work on the ground and it's unfortunate that people don't undertake research before randomly reporting a post.

Interesting, thanks

Thanks for raising this NittWitt.Looks very worthwhile.

It’s a really good charity idea and I ve been meaning to do it for ages this has given me the push I needed Thanks Nittwitt

I’ve heard of it before and thought about doing it,now you have nudged me and I will actually do it so thank you..

Sorry you were reported NitWhitt.
This is an excellent charity and well worth supporting. Thank you for bringing it to the attention of a wider audience.

Yes, I've seen the adverts on TV also. Not often but they do appear.

I love this charity. It's sort of along the lines of 'Give a man a fish and he can eat. Teach a man to fish and he can eat for a lifetime'.

For quite a long time we used to support a woman's co-operative in Africa that ran along the same lines, giving people the means to support themselves.

Thank you NittWitt. I've never heard of this charity - but have just joined and will let other members of my family and friends know about it too

Thanks for the link. Just joined and made 2 loans. I think it feels good to help and will be interesting to see what happens.

Yes, a worthwhile charity.

I have also joined.
Thank you for the heads up.

Yes this is a popular charity with my family.

Thank you so much to those who have joined up. I'm delighted my post has had that result.
And thank you also to those who already support Lend With Care.

I've been lending with them for several years and I've never had a defaulted loan.
It's wonderful that quite small amounts can make big differences in people's lives.

This is an excellent idea. Many of us have so much in comparison to people in other countries. All the money that was spent (wasted) on Christmas presents that no one wants could have been used in this kind of way. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.

My dd regularly lends small sums with lend with care and has always been repaid. It’s a brilliant way to help mainly women start a small business which brings in income to support the family.

A brilliant charity and one we support. Thank you NitWhitt.

Let’s hope someone looks at this thread again and apologises.
