Some of our staff and volunteers recently had a Money Matters training session. Ann and Richard have both worked and volunteered for advice organisations for many years, helping people with issues including benefits, debts and budgeting. They’re now helping even more people by sharing their knowledge free of charge with organisations like ours. 

Here are a few of the sources of information they shared with us that might come in handy:
