He passed his medical exams at the end of 2019 and has now worked at St George’s Hospital within the vascular surgery department, and he worked on the frontline in the fight against Covid-19 at Oldham Hospital.

What’s different about our loans?

Unlike many mainstream options, we’re not here to make money — we’re here to make a difference.

• No interest. No fees. No profit.

• Supportive and flexible — we’ll never ask you to repay more than you can afford

• Community-powered — wherever possible, repaid loans go back into the fund to help someone else
