Working with Michael<br />

Sheen to end high<br />

cost credit<br />

We’re proud to be supporting anew<br />

organisation founded by Port Talbot<br />

actor and activist Michael Sheen,<br />

aimed at tackling the unfair targeting of<br />

high cost credit to those who can least<br />

afford it.<br />

We’re one of the key partners of The<br />

End High Cost Credit Alliance which<br />

was founded by Michael in <strong>2017</strong> and<br />

launched in March 20<strong>18</strong>.<br />

The Alliance aims to find ways to make<br />

change happen and many of the ideas<br />

will be tested in Port Talbot.<br />

One of our strategic priorities is to<br />

seek opportunities to help tenants<br />

make their money go alittle further.<br />

The Alliance will help us to do this by<br />

exploring alternatives for tenants to<br />

access low cost credit.<br />

Michael said:<br />

From the very beginning of this<br />

initiative Isat down with TaiTarian<br />

to explore the challenges locally and<br />

they have been an integral part of<br />

the Alliance. Our message is simple,<br />

credit is good but not in asystem<br />

where itisunfairly targeted and<br />

maximised for profit over<br />

social impact.<br />

We need ideas, we need solutions<br />

and most importantly we need to<br />

act. Ilook forward toworking with<br />

TaiTarian to create afairer deal for<br />

our communities and the<br />

entire country.<br />
