Advice NI's Make the Most of Your Money Programme

The programme covers the following:

• Budgeting and maximising income
• Borrowing money and good/bad credit
• Coping with money problems
• Raising the issue of debt in the home

The programme is funded by Ulster Bank’s Community Impact Fund and managed by the Community Foundation for Northern Ireland.  Bob Stronge, CEO at Advice NI said:

“Advice NI has wanted for some time to be involved in an education programme to reduce the cycle of debt and to benefit people who are struggling financially and/or are in debt. The Ulster Bank Community Impact Fund has allowed us to offer financial education workshops for the first time.”

If you are interested in participating on the programme please contact Michelle on 02890 645 919 or e-mail training@adviceni.net. Places are limited so early response is recommended.
