Investing in You - Projects and Activities

• Money Matters- Finance Management Workshops
• These workshops are designed to allow you to learn about finance, debt management and saving in a fun and straightforward way and cover topics such as budgeting, debt busting and consumer rights and responsibilities
  
  In Partnership with SAFE (Services Against Financial Exclusion) and with support from Barclays Bank we are currently working to extend the number of workshops we offer and allow as many residents as possible to access the help and support they need to get their finances under control.
