Financial Inclusion Project

Money Advice Service (MAS) Financial Inclusion Project Working in partnership with Toynbee Hall and the University of Sheffield, Good Things Foundation (funded by the Money Advice Service) are undertaking a research project that aims to support 720 individuals to improve their financial capability during 2017.

The project seeks to test the following question: The ability to transact online can reduce the poverty premium. Are individuals receiving financial capability support better able to transact online if they are also supported to undertake a live transaction online?

The course is free, with one session per week for 8 weeks taught in small groups of 5 students. If you would like to join email info@learnforlifeenterprise.com or ask at reception (01142559080)
