Information for University and Partner Organisation Staff

In-house Training and Outreach Service Provided

In addition to the advice service, the team conducts promotional and educational events throughout the year in order to promote financial literacy. We also offer one-off workshops or talks to groups as requested. These talks can cover a variety of subjects, ranging from basic student funding talks aimed at existing or potential students, to activities and workshops promoting budgeting, understanding of financial products, credit awareness, welfare benefits, and the tax system. If you are a member of University or Partner Organisation staff and you have a group of existing or potential students that you feel would benefit from this service please contact us directly to discuss your requirements.
