YEAR 8 pupils at Ysgol Glan y Mor, Pwllheli, with the assistance of their teachers, have been learning about the perils of loan sharks and the ways in which they can destroy the lives of individuals and families.

The work was carried out as part of the pupils’ personal and social education classes and was timed to coincide with the National Stop Loan Sharks Week.

It all came to an end with a competition to design and draw a poster highliting the pitfalls and dangers of dealing with loan sharks.

The competition was sponsored by the Wales Illegal Money Lending Unit, which is based in Cardiff, and supplied an iPad as a prize, which was won by Daniel Love.

Daniel is pictured receving his prize from the ‘Loan Shark’ and Elizabeth Emmons, WIMLU client liaison officer.
