Start the Conversation – Talk Money Week!

Talk Money Week (3-7^th November) is an opportunity to start the conversation about personal finances.

Research shows that people who talk about money:

• Make better and less risky financial decisions
• Have stronger personal relationships
• Help their children form good lifetime money habits
• Feel less stressed or anxious and more in control

The Money and Pension Service has a range of online guides to help you start conversations about money with your family or those you support, head to their website for more information and inspiration: Talk money | MoneyHelper

As well as a fantastic range of resources and tools such as the Benefits Calculator and the Budget Planner, staff and volunteers can access the East Sussex Money Guiders training programme.
