The Essentials of Money Management
Community financial wellbeing

Supporting Financial Wellbeing in your Communities

Is supporting the financial wellbeing of your local communities a focus for your organisation?

Do your staff volunteer locally and wish they could do more to help people who need support with their finances?

If the answer to either of these questions is yes, we can help.  By providing training and resources to your teams they can play a crucial role in enriching the wellbeing of families and communities to achieve financial resilience and their personal goals, whether it’s saving for their first home, planning for retirement, or achieving personal and family aspirations.

Our Essentials of Money Management in your Community workshop empowers you to broaden your scope and engage with a diverse range of people in the community. Imagine organising interactive workshops for local businesses, students, and others, enriching lives and fostering financial well-being on a larger scale.

Case Study: Foresters Financial

Take the example of Foresters Financial, whose mission is to help everyday families achieve their financial goals and make a lasting difference in their lives and communities. When they discovered our Money Management Workshops, it was a perfect alignment with their mission. We initially delivered a one-day workshop to a select group of staff, which was so successful that it opened up new possibilities for Foresters Financial to support their local communities on a larger scale.

A team of Financial Advisers from across the UK participated in our first Train the Trainer workshop. While they were well-versed in financial matters, many were not accustomed to delivering workshops. The two-day programme was designed to address this, providing them with not only comprehensive training guides for eight different modules but also the facilitation skills necessary to effectively engage and educate their audiences.

The participants delivered a 20-minute module on the second day, and to anticipate feelings of nervousness, the workshop was designed to address confidence issues. Through a deeper exploration of what confidence truly means and guided psychological shifts in their mindset, the FAs were able to overcome their anxieties.

By the end of the workshop, the group were not only more knowledgeable but also more self-assured, enthusiastic and well-equipped to deliver money management workshops in a variety of community settings. They learned key facilitation techniques, including how to handle challenges, support vulnerable people, and understand the crucial difference between guidance and advice.
