If the policy is a term life insurance policy, there is no accumulation of cash value. Upon the death of the insured, the face value of the policy is paid to the beneficiary if the policy is in force at that time.
Cash value does accumulate under "permanent" insurance. This is otherwise called whole life, and has various permutations that often go by other names. The common denominator is that part of the premium is applied to the indemnity benefit (akin to term insurance), and another part into may be considered to be the rough equivalent of a "savings account" (but please don't confuse this with a real savings account at a bank). The account balance, called "cash value" accumulates over time. The value increases slowly at first, but over a period of years, as premiums are regularly paid, more quickly. Most all policies allow for loans from the cash value, albeit an interest rate is charged on the loan. The loan does not have to be repaid, but upon the death of the person insured, the loan balance, including accrued interest, is deducted from the indemnity payment.

In the UK, you should be able to take a loan out against an endowment policy if the Insurer allows this. Phone him to check. However, before you do so you should take advice from your Financial Advisor to see if this is the best option for you. There may be better ways to obtain finance at a cheaper rate without penalising your future benefit from the policy.
