Talk Money Week – November 2021
People in the UK don’t talk about their money enough. Despite the COVID-19 crisis affecting finances, 9 in 10 UK adults – that’s 47 million people – don’t find it any easier to talk about money, or don’t even discuss it at all.
We want to celebrate Talk Money Week and focus on the fantastic work undertaken by delivery partners – particularly through Action Towards Inclusion.
This dynamic project offers support for adults trying to get into work but also helps with some of the real social challenges faced by participants.
We have three intervention partners who specialise in financial advice – giving support to clients who may be facing real financial hardship or debt issues.
Craven & Harrogate Citizens Advice Bureau
Hull & East Riding Citizens Advice Bureau

“I’ve managing to cope and get on top of and sorted financial situation. I’m no longer burying head in sand.”
