This post from Longleigh Foundation for #TalkMoneyWeek shares a fundamental truth. Talking about money, especially when you haven't much, is so difficult. One of our customer's, Debbie, joined us on our #OnTheAir Money Matters podcast. Her message was, "don't bury your head in the sand". Speaking to Stonewater and Clean Slate Training and Employment CIC made the difference when she was struggling financially and turned her life around. Emma Kernahan, Policy and Impact Lead at Clean Slate and Allison Howe, Stonewater also describe the range of help and advice available, how to cope with the emotional effects and destigmatise asking for help. We're happy to join Longleigh and #DoOneThing by talking about money with our customers, colleagues and family. Will you do the same? It could be the beginning of a stronger, more confident approach to financial wellbeing this week and beyond. 🎧 Listen back to #OnTheAir: https://lnkd.in/ewKB6r3P 👀 How does the Circles of Support programme support Stonewater customers; https://lnkd.in/edHsBiSQ 🔍 More help with money advice at Stonewater: https://lnkd.in/em8Tf4mp #LongleighFoundation #TalkMoney #DoOneThing #FinancialWellbeing #FinancialLiteracy
Financial wellbeing is essential for a sense of stability and peace of mind, but it’s also something many of us find difficult to talk about. During #TalkMoneyWeek, Longleigh Foundation encourages everyone to take one small, positive step towards financial security. Through our partnership with Clean Slate Training and Employment CIC, we’re helping Stonewater customers build confidence around managing their finances and starting important conversations about money. Clean Slate provides personalised support that makes financial planning feel more manageable and less overwhelming. By reviewing their income, checking benefit eligibility, and setting up a realistic budget, Stonewater customers can take control of their finances in a way that suits their personal needs. Talking about money may not come naturally, but it’s a conversation that can help us all feel more in control and prepared for the future. So, join us and #DoOneThing by talking about money to your customers, colleagues and family. It could be the beginning of a stronger, more confident approach to financial wellbeing this week and beyond.
