When: Monday 29 April, 11am – 12:30pm.

About the event:  

A session on strategies for budgeting, managing and saving money in these tough times.
There were 2.1 billion debit card transactions in August 2022. As a society, we have experienced a great shift in the way we interact with and manage our money in recent years. This can make the process of budgeting and money management increasingly complex in our busy lives. In this workshop we look at different tools that can be used to track your spending. We will also consider how to manage money more effectively, how to categorise your spending, and where to go if something goes wrong.
