The real world can be an expensive place to live
Article Abstract:
The average UK graduate leaves university owing around 4,000 pounds sterling, and many find this a great financial burden during the first few years of their working life. This problem is set to get worse from 1998, when all but the poorest students will face a 1,000 pounds sterling tuition fee. Furthermore, graduate starting salaries in the UK are relatively low, causing graduates further financial problems. Many banks now offer packages designed to assist graduates during the first few years of their working life.

Aston gets its assets in gear
Article Abstract:
Birmingham Settlement has played a key role in plans for the creation of a community bank in the Aston region of Birmingham, which is very run-down and where there are now very few banks or building societies. Many people are having to travel several miles to their nearest branch, and fear attack when carrying large sums of money. It is now hoped that loans will be made available to local businesses from Apr 1995 and that eventually an operation with a full banking licence will develop.

A growl from Tiger Bay
Article Abstract:
Residents of historic Butetown, situated at the heart of the old Tiger Bay, a mile south of the centre of Cardiff, fear that the redevelopment of Cardiff will destroy their community. The community was developed from coal, iron and the docks, and brought together people from many different backgrounds. They still live in harmony together, but believe that this could come to a sudden end under the regeneration scheme of the Cardiff Bay Redevelopment Corp.
