💸 Money Matters... But So Do You! 💸

If you've ever wondered whether you're missing out on financial support, benefits, grants, or ways to make your money go a little further, then this month's carers group is one you won't want to miss!

We're delighted to welcome Money Max who'll be helping carers understand what's available and how to maximise income during these challenging times.

Of course, it's not all about finances. Lorna will be there with the usual mix of support, refreshments, laughs, and conversation, creating a relaxed space where carers can step away from their responsibilities for a while and spend time with people who truly "get it".

Whether you come for the advice, the coffee, the company, or all three, you'll be very welcome.

Come along on Monday 26th to Saltcoats Library from 10am- 12pm for:

☕ Chat.
🤝 Connect.
💷 Learn.
💙 Recharge.

Because carers deserve support too.
