One-to-one support on budgeting

We have a Personal Navigator, Carmen Yates, who works with individuals who need 1-2-1 support to learn how to manage their money better.

What support will a Money Sorted Personal Navigator provide?

Each eligible participant in the programme will be supported throughout their journey on the project by a dedicated Personal Navigator.  Together with the participant, the Navigator will establish a bespoke package of tailored support which is responsive to individual needs; including the use of discretionary/expenses funds to cover essential items and travel expenses.

In partnership with Money Sorted in D2N2 and the support of a Personal Navigator (Financial Inclusion) each participant will be able to:

• Have an assessment of their financial well-being and getting their Money Sorted.
• Have their income checked and maximised, where possible.
• Recognise priority and non-priority debts.
• Learn how to budget.
• Receive support with current financial circumstances (e.g. debts, benefits, banking)

This is with a view of enabling participants to move forward and take steps towards training, educational, volunteering or employment opportunities.

• Are currently unemployed or economically inactive (e.g. a carer, looking after small children).
