Overview

A couple from Cornwall swap the rat race for the open road. Jess and Ben hire out restored vintage camper vans thanks to a £5,000 ethical loan that helped turn their dream of running a business into a glorious glamping reality. A young businessman appeals to the internet and gets the funding he needs to set up a ‘green’ business. 28-year-old Stephen has a passion for plants and needed £1250 in crowdfunding to help him branch out in a new direction. And a mum starts the savings habit early to give her children a lesson in finance. Adenike and her children’s savings join the £890 million pounds currently deposited with UK credit unions, which they can loan to others at a much lower interest rate.
