Money Advice and Budgeting Training Days

The Money Course

The Money Course is a joint initiative between Holy Trinity Brompton/Alpha, Stewardship and Credit Action. It is a 4-week ‘plug and play’ course for churches, giving them the tools and materials to run money management courses for their local communities and congregations.

The course enables individuals to build a personal or household budget step-by-step and course includes strategies for controlling and balancing the budget and practical ways for managing day to day spending. It also covers wider issues of financial planning, regular saving, the wise use of credit and the importance of generous giving and enables delegates to find one-to-one support from trained budget coaches where needed.

The course is being launched in its pre-publication format with full publication scheduled for May 2012.

Course leader training dates are currently scheduled for Saturday May 21st and Friday September 9th in London and Saturday September 17th in Manchester/Liverpool (tbc).

Churches interested in using the course can find more details and register for course leader training via the website: www.themoneycourse.org.
