Money Active Training Begins

The first CAB volunteers to undertake the new Money Active Financial Capability Train the Trainer Programme

Money Active is a new money management project developed by Citizens Advice and funded by Nationwide Building Society. Through this programme Citizens Advice will train and support volunteers across the CAB network and a wide range of community organisations to carry out pro-active financial education work within their local community.

Local volunteers will be trained and supported to deliver practical interactive outreach sessions on key money management issues and will deliver to a wide variety of target audiences in community settings such as residential care homes, mums and tot's groups, youth centres or local libraries.

This is an exciting new project for Citizens Advice which will develop the volunteering role for the organisation as well as expand and diversify the current volunteer base and enabling an innovative new approach to forging volunteering partnerships with local communities.
