Garden centre owner Sue waits for news of a vital loan to help her business grow.

A garden centre is hoping for a cash injection to help it branch out, and a loan helps a father of four cash in on the vinyl revival.

In Devon, we meet Sue, who runs The Garden Shop. Faced with an extended retirement age working at a school, she decided it was time for a career change and swapped pupils for plants. She bought a local garden centre with the help of a loan from an ethical lender. Now she is planning to expand and is asking for a further £16,000 loan to convert a barn to expand her business. Will she get the loan to help her business blossom?

Mum Danta needs £550 to help pay for her children’s school uniform. With three children, she heads to the Bristol credit union and hopes the team can help her kit out her kids for the new academic year.

And music to his ears: a father of four tells how he set up his own record shop after the company he had worked for for more than ten years went bust. Feeling the pressure to provide for his family, he asks for a loan to help cash in on the vinyl revival.
