Free money coaching sessions are on offer to people in Kendal and the surrounding areas.
As high costs continue to put pressure on households, Kendal and District Debt Centre, in partnership with charity Christians Against Poverty and Westmorland and Furness Council, is providing expert financial education.
Money coach Laura Kirkham, who leads the courses, said: “With the soaring cost of living over the last few years, we’ve seen how important it is that people know how to successfully manage their money, whatever their income.
“It’s vital that we know how to balance what we have, save for emergencies and get out or stay out of debt. Our money coaching course equips people to do that. We’ll look at things like building and balancing a household budget, prioritising spending and keeping our finances stable into the future.
“Money coaching isn’t just about getting to grips with money practically – it’s about helping people find the freedom that comes with being in control of their finances.
“It can impact mental health, physical health, relationships, work life and self-belief. Plus, there’s an amazing sense of achievement when you reach a goal, like finally being able to buy something you’ve been saving up for. Managing money well can be so rewarding!”
The courses are free and run over four weeks.
Upcoming courses will be held:
- June 4 to June 25, 7pm to 9pm, South Lakes Foyer
- June 26 to July 17, 7.30pm to 9.30pm, Parr Street Church
- August 6 to August 27, 7.30pm to 9.30pm, online
