Money Matters

Helping You To Find Financial Freedom

The primary focus of Money Matters is on money education in order that people may be empowered to take control of their finances and find financial freedom. Money Matters provides Personal Budget Coaching and Money Education services further details of which are provided below.

Personal Budget Coaching

Budgeting is the key tool that helps people to take control of their finances.

Budgets

Provide an accurate picture of our financial situation
Make our money go further
Impose control over our spending
Prevent us from running up substantial debts
Avoid financial stresses in family
Make money work towards achieving our plans.

Budgeting is something however that many people from a variety of backgrounds have not been taught or find easy to do. The Rock Community Project has therefore set up a team of volunteer Personal Budget Coaches to help people in the community to take control of their finances by making a budget. This is a service for anyone who wants to manage their money better, not just for those who know that they have lost control of their money and are finding themselves fall deeper into debt.

If you want to try our Budget Challenge please click here (Word file) or click here (pdf).

You will also need to download a budget sheet to complete this challenge by clicking here (Excel file) or click here (pdf file). This budget sheet can be retained for ongoing use.

Money Education

In addition to Personal Budget Coaching we are able to deliver basic money management courses on subjects such as budgeting. One course we run is “Money, How Are You Managing?” and you can see a flyer for this course by clicking here for pdf file click here.

We also promote and signpost to a wide range of money education publications and on line resources from a variety of agencies. Signposting also includes details of how to access free independent money advice if you are in debt and are looking for help from a specialist money advisor.

Money Clinics

Money Clinics are another service that we are able to provide, either in The Rock Centre or at an external location. A Money Clinic is aimed at providing an informal friendly environment where people can come and discuss money related issues and concerns, and in particular find out more about the help that is available.

At a Money Clinic we will:

Offer specific help with budgeting and money education related issues.
Provide “supported” free internet access (where available) in order that you may access useful money related web sites.
Signpost to other agencies / resources where specific assistance is required.
Provide more information on the services available through Money Matters; particularly Personal Budget Coaching and Money Education Courses.
