The Cumbria Youth Alliance ‘Money Matters’ programme, funded through Multiply, provides both life skills, financial awareness and budgeting skills for young people in care. Our aim is to enable these young people to look forward to a normal adult life, by helping them to reverse instability and enhance their employability prospects.
How does it work?
Young people will work through the Multiply Money Matters model using a blended approach of 1-1 and group work, face to face and online delivery.
