Our Carer Money Matters Team is always on hand to give you practical advice, financial guidance, or simply a space to feel supported. And now, for the first time ever we’re so excited to be able to offer a series of free virtual workshops, that you can attend from the comfort of your own home.
These friendly and informative sessions are packed with useful tips, support, and resources to help you manage your finances, caring responsibilities, and wellbeing with confidence.
Each workshop lasts just 30–40 minutes, leaving plenty of time for a Q&A session afterwards for anyone who would like to stay and ask more questions.
We know as an unpaid carer your time is precious and limited, so we’re offering both lunchtime and evening options to fit around your schedule. Plus many of our workshops run monthly, so if you miss a session, you’ll have the chance to join the next one!
