Purple Shoots are life savers - life 'enablers' - helping those trapped in dependency, to be economically active and 'live' again. They worked miracles for me, and my daughter has a happy mother instead of a memory of one because of Karen and Mike.

Paying it forward - CEO Karen would love to speak with you Martin @MartinSLewis @mmhpi @itvMLshow - if I can do anything to help Purple Shoots be on Martin's radar I will!

You don't know what you don't know until you know you didn't know it! How do you shine a light on the good guys!

For many households, spending has gone down & savings up during #covid19. But this is not the story for many households particularly those living on a new income, as our new @CovidRealities research with @resfoundation shows (thread) https://t.co/KCMd4BGL1J

It's not all about money! However a little money can go a long way when Purple Shoots is involved! The Moondance Foundation @MoondanceFDN has put resources into the the Wales Purple Moon Fund for loan capital so we can continue the work we started 7 years ago.

It is so good to be out for a seaside trip to the Mumbles and see one of our borrowers doing well - Sarah Kift at the Gower Seafood Hut - I recommend her popcorn cockles!! #microbusiness #lending #buildbackbetter
