Managing those pounds
YWCA money management course for young mums
Personal budgeting and money management is an accredited course that allows young women to take an active role in managing their finances. It covers budgets, benefits and bank accounts and staff from local financial advice services will be on hand to help those pounds stretch further. The young women will learn how to manage their cash flow during and after the transition from supported accommodation into their own homes.
Gill Court, YWCA Nottingham’s participation worker, said: “Managing your family’s budget is extremely important in these lean times. This course gives young mums the skills they need and is accredited by the National Open College Network.
YWCA produced a Credit crunch survival guide to help young women from deprived communities get through these hard times.
