MONEY<br />
MATTERS<br />
Here<br />
to help<br />
Say hello to Michelle, Katie, Ben, Cheryl and Kim; or to give them their official title<br />
– the Money Matters Team. At a time when many people are under huge financial<br />
pressure, they deliver a service that is making a real difference to tenants.<br />
What is the service?<br />
Money Matters is a free and confidential<br />
service that provides:<br />
Help with welfare reform and benefits<br />
Budgeting and debt advice<br />
Ways of reducing fuel costs and improving<br />
energy efficiency<br />
Digital skills training<br />
Help creating CVs, job searching,<br />
volunteer and apprenticeship opportunities<br />
Health and wellbeing support<br />
HOW DOES IT WORK?<br />
Just call or email the Money Matters Team<br />
– Michelle is the first point of contact and<br />
she will book you an appointment and listen<br />
to what you say. The appointment will be with<br />
Ben, Katie or Cheryl and they can visit you<br />
at home, or meet you at one of our offices.<br />
They will talk to you at this first visit and<br />
find out more about the help you might need.<br />
The service is flexible and will be tailored<br />
to meet your individual needs. Kim leads<br />
the team and makes sure the service offers<br />
the right support in response to the latest<br />
welfare reform changes that affect tenants.<br />
