Tell me more about the programme.

The first part of the programme is a one to one session lasting around an hour. 

 

During this session we will give you the pre-course materials which include a handy planner for your personal finances; we discuss your own personal goals and then we ensure you are fully prepared for the group sessions that follow.

 

Next, you will be enrolled onto an eight week programme consisting of one 2.25 hour session per week for eight weeks. Sessions are available evenings and weekends and are run to fit around participant's other commitments. You will be part of a group of no more than eight people. The sessions cover all of the basic elements you need to get your finances on track to reach your goals.

 

What sort of things will I learn?

Each Session covers a different topic and includes things like:

  • Planning your budget
  • How to cut the cost of your bills
  • Managing debt
  • Smart Food Shopping
  • Changing spending habits
  • Rainy day savings & dealing with emergencies
  • Planning for the future

The sessions are jargon free and we look at practical things anyone can do to help their money go further. There will be plenty of time for all of your financial questions to be answered and you will receive all the on-going support you need. If necessary we can help refer you to other organisations who can give additional support.

 

Applying the knowledge 

The final stage is a further one to one to look at how the knowledge you have built up can continue to be used to support you to achieve your life goals. This session is personal to you and is your opportunity to get further help in developing your own plans.

There is support when you need it at each stage. If you have any questions call for a chat on 07730 892167
