I'm Jamie, and I run Tune From You on my own. I know how much it means to have a go at building something of your own, and how hard it is to get started without a bit of help.
What I like about Lendwithcare is that it's a loan, not a handout. People choose what they want to do with their business, they pay the loan back, and that money can then help the next person. It's run by CARE International UK, which has been fighting poverty for a very long time, so I feel confident about where the money goes.
It's a small thing, but it felt right that every song should do a little bit of good beyond the person it's written for.

OUR FIRST LOAN
Susan, Philippines
Sewing and tailoring · Local partner: LAMAC · Lent October 2026
Susan and her husband run a sewing business with six employees. They make uniforms for government workers, teachers and students, and do repairs like replacing zips and buttons. Her loan is for fabric, thread and other supplies to keep up with their orders.
Susan's loan of £1,989.56 is shared between many lenders, and Tune From You is one of them.

Does it cost me extra?
No. The price you pay stays exactly the same. The £1 comes out of what Tune From You makes on each paid order.
Does it count if I used a free song code?
The £1 comes from paid orders, so free and trial orders aren't included.
Is it a donation?
No, it's a loan. The business owner pays it back in instalments, and when they do, we lend that money out again to someone new.
Who decides who gets the loan?
We do. Lendwithcare lists small business owners who've applied for a loan through a local partner organisation, and we pick who to lend to.
Do all loans get paid back?
Most do, but not always. Repayments can also come back slightly more or less than lent, because loans are made in local currencies and exchange rates move. We're happy to take that small risk.
Why don't you lend the £1 straight away?
Lendwithcare's smallest loan is £15, so we save up the £1s from paid orders and lend them in rounds.
Can I lend too?
Yes – anyone in the UK can lend through Lendwithcare. Find out more at lendwithcare.org.
