I've spent some time looking at it this evening and I am quite tempted. It looks like a really good way of helping others for no cost (or at least limited risk). DH thinks its a scam..

Has anyone done it?

Me too! Wonder if its the same project? Its a thrill when there's repayments, you think yes! They are succeeding.

I also had a repayment today - was really exciting as I hope it means the recipient’s business is thriving.

Elmo230885 · 26/03/2026 14:18

Me too, got the email. Seems like this post has made a difference to some lives.

I’ve also had two repayments today. So pleased we’re making a difference.
Are yours the same people?

edit. Photo being checked.

I had two repayments today as well. A different group from @Grrrpredictivetex but I think possibly part of the same bigger project.

I also had 3 repayments this week, I am so happy to have stumbled across this thread!

tonsattingforbjudes · 26/03/2026 18:48

Two repayments today for me as well. I love that this thread is hopefully pulling in new lenders.

Having seen Lend With Care come up on Facebook, I did a general search to find out more about it. Very happy to see it has been going for some time.

Thank you for the referral codes. I've signed up today and made my first loans. Thank you MN for the recommendations!

Here's my code:

My chosen entrepreneur is fully funded growing peppers! I forgot to share my code here but I did on Facebook and someone has used it so paying it forward works 😁

DamsonGoldfinch · 01/04/2026 17:22

I have another two women’s projects - in Togo and Zambia - where my loans have very nearly been repaid. I’m very excited about finding some new projects to reinvest my cash.

817 people helped, what a fabulous statistic! And all from @User253853 wanting to just check it was a legit site. Wonderful. ❤️

PoemsForTea · 05/04/2026 21:06

Bloody wonderful 💜

RuudGullitOnAShed · 05/04/2026 21:33

This is a lovely thread.
I'm going to invest another £15 every payday.

I've joined the Massive Salad - had to go back and 'assign' my previous loans to the group's total. It's not much, but it all adds up.

RobinTheCavewoman · 19/04/2026 09:24

I've joined the team and attributed my loans - updating to bump the thread!

I gave a gift voucher to my manager for his birthday - he was so happy, glad I judged it right!!

NinePoppadomsAndASaagAloo · 25/04/2026 21:54

It was payday yesterday so I’ve just done another loan. Pleased to say The MN Massive (Salad) team have now lent over £2000 between us! 🎉
