🇬🇧 London friends, I’m excited to share some news!
Registration is now open for Building Financial Resilience: A Practical Five-Week Money Course, a new in-person course I’ll be delivering in partnership with the @RBKClibraries!
Over five weeks, we’ll explore participants’ relationship with money while building practical skills around:
✔️ Managing everyday finances
✔️ Spending, borrowing and debt
✔️ Saving and building financial resilience
✔️ Investing, pensions and planning for the future
No previous financial knowledge is needed. My goal is to create a supportive, practical and non-judgmental space where participants can learn, ask questions and build greater confidence with their money.
👉🏽 Find out more and register here: learn.wearyourmoneycrown.com…
Please note: Spaces are limited and eligibility requirements apply.
