A webinar about Funding Circle and peer-to-peer loans, hosted by Funding Options. Peer-to-peer lending is set to increase fivefold in the next three years, according to a recent forecast from Ernst and Young. It looks like more and more SMEs are turning to alternative finance products out of frustration with the banks. Given the hype, you'd think that most businesses are aware of the options available, right? Wrong. According to a recent survey, only 29% of respondents even knew what peer-to-peer lending is. If you've got questions about peer-to-peer, this is your chance to ask Funding Circle. The first site of its kind in the UK, Funding Circle was launched in August 2010 and has since facilitated over £164 million in loans to SMEs, providing flexible business loans up to £1 million. We'll be answering questions on the basics, as well as the details: What is peer-to-peer lending? Who is Funding Circle? What types of finance are offered? How does it work? What are the risks? We'll also look at how you can put together the best possible finance application, and we'll take questions on whether your business or your clients might qualify. This is a special event webinar ran by Funding Options in conjunction with Funding Circle. The award-winning Funding Options team works with a range of lenders to provide free, no-obligation advice about the best finance for your business.

In today’s economic climate falling into debt is perilously easy, getting out is hard. Firms in the debt sector have adopted flexible and ethical collection practices to support families who are struggling, yet costs and the time taken to collect have increased. This Policy in Practice webinar featured guest speakers Carole Kenney, Director, Welfare and Customer Care, Gareth McNab, Social Inclusion Lead, Nationwide Building Society who spoke alongside Zoe Charlesworth, Director of Policy and Operations, Policy in Practice, and Sarah Lambert, Affordability Assessment Manager, Policy in Practice. Whether you’re a collection agency, utility company, advice organisation, local authority or housing association, you’re on the frontline for helping people in debt. You can boost the financial resilience of households by helping them to increase their income. In this way, you can increase collection rates and social impact, in the knowledge that you’re doing the right thing. In this webinar we discussed: - How COVID-19 has already hit people’s incomes, and what’s in store - Who the newly vulnerable households are - How to reduce existing arrears and the chance of a customer falling into arrears - How to minimise the cost of debt collection For more information visit www.policyinpractice.co.uk, email hello@policyinpractice.co.uk or call 0330 088 9242

Policy in Practice’s analysis estimates that the average hit faced by low income households, on top of existing pressures, will be over £40 per week by 2020. More households are now ‘can’t pay’s rather than ‘won’t pay’s. Income collection teams have a responsibility to help both their clients and their customers, both of whom are feeling the pinch. As an ethical enforcement agency, Phoenix recognises that they can support people by helping them to better understand their financial position and find ways to increase income and lower expenditure, prior to enforcement action. Using Policy in Practice’s Benefit and Budgeting Calculator they are bringing welfare support together, around the customer. Early results after 4 months are extremely promising.

Developed world economies need to find ways to ensure that the everyday day financial needs of their citizens are met. Starting to look at the developing world for solutions.

This one-day workshop will introduce the pathway that financial service providers can take to enhance their social performance management (SPM) practices, using the Universal Standards for Social Performance Management (“Universal Standards”) as a framework for improving practice. Case studies and activities will make the day as interactive as possible. The target audience for this workshop is associations and direct service providers. The day will start by quickly defining SPM and exploring its importance to an institution’s clients and business. Participants will take a deeper look at the Universal Standards and learn how to use the SPI4 Audit Tool to assess their current level of implementation of the Universal Standards. We will also discuss key resources available to help financial service providers institute changes after they assess themselves.

You have helped your clients see themselves and their families in a new light as economic actors. You can do the same for their lives as civic actors. The nations of the world have agreed to the Sustainable Development Goals, goals such as eradicating extreme poverty, eliminating preventable child deaths, and ensuring all children complete secondary school all by 2030. In this training you will learn how to empower your clients to use their voices as citizens on issues that matter in their lives, the lives of community members, and across their nation. By helping clients influence village leaders and members of Parliament through advocacy, we will make the SDGs real.
