Join us for this free workshop to equip church, faith and community groups to use the new Money Help Hub toolkit to help support people in your community facing financial pressures.

We’re delighted to welcome Lisa Broom, Youth and Community Programme Manager for the Just Finance Foundation who will guide us through how to use this new on-line resource.

Developed by the Just Finance Foundation, the Money Help Hub aims to be a helpful resource for creating dialogue and allowing space for people to open up about their money struggles, and know where to seek additional support when needed.

A series of short step-by-step guides provide practical ideas for cutting costs, keeping track of spending, getting support and looking after your mental health and relationships, including:

  • Budgeting and managing money
  • Keeping warm and eating well
  • Mental Health and Isolation
  • Spending and saving as a family

There are also suggestions for where people can access additional help and support, if money worries or debt are becoming unmanageable.

This workshop will equip attendees to navigate conversations around money and money worries, and to build their own courses to suit their community needs. We hope this will be particularly useful as we approach a winter with continuing high food and energy costs hitting everyone in particular low income households.

The session is offered free as part of the National Lottery-funded Network of Kindness project, run by Together Liverpool to support the growth of social action projects across the Diocese of Liverpool area.

Part of our Network of Kindness Communities of Practice, the session is open to all existing and prospective Network of Kindness members. Click here to find out more about how to join the Network of Kindness.

The session is suitable for faith and community leaders, who may be spending time with people in their communities and seeing the issues people are facing due to the cost of living crisis.

About our speaker:

Lisa Broom has over 15 years experience of managing, producing and delivering community and education projects in a range of settings within the creative and cultural sector.

Lisa joined the Church Urban Fund (CUF) as Youth and Community Programme Manager in 2022. Her role spans across CUF’s two subsidiary charities, Near Neighbours, where she manages Catalyst, a transformative leadership programme for young people and Just Finance Foundation, where she develops and manages a range of projects to support financial education for families and the whole community.

She is accustomed to working from grass roots level to develop partnerships with providers who have already built a trust and rapport with the communities that they work with, which in turn aids in breaking down barriers to initial engagement.

Her passion lies in creating opportunities for young people and communities to come together, contrary to the constraints often experienced in other aspects of their lives, in which they can begin to exercise agency, explore their own values, feel empowered and have their voices heard.
