The Moneywise Plus project has officially ended and the results are in! Let's just say, we nailed it! 💯

We have helped countless individuals gain the necessary digital skills and financial literacy knowledge to improve their lives and achieve their goals. Although the project has come to an end, the impact it has had on the lives of individuals and communities will continue to be felt for years to come.

Big shout out to the amazing Moneywise Plus team for their dedication and hard work on this project! Couldn't have done it without you all. Thank you for making it a success!

Martin needed assistance to better manage his finances and reduce his bills/outgoings, this was having an effect on the weekly food shop and getting by on a day-to-day basis due to not having enough income. Additionally, Martin required a refresher on his digital skills as he felt this was holding him back, and also needed support in employability to update his CV, create Jobsite accounts, search for suitable job roles, create cover letters, and receive new job alerts to his email.

He now has a SMART plan in place ready to begin his job searching journey and has scheduled future digital sessions with Stuart to help him to navigate computer software, search online for jobs and pay bills online.

He is feeing as if a weight has been lifted off of his shoulders now that his finances have been sorted.

Sarah was going through a tough time. She was struggling with digital; literacy and maths skills and it was affecting her daily life. She couldn't even help her daughter with her homework and felt like a failure as a parent.

But then she met Anju, her advisor from Leicester College. Anju listened to Sarah's concerns and helped her to create a plan to improve her skills. They worked together to improve her CV, and Anju showed Sarah how to use top job sites to search for employment. Sarah was even given a sim card with access to free data, which made her feel like she had the support she needed to succeed.

Anju also helped Sarah to apply for a lower rate bus pass so that she could attend a maths course at Leicester College. They had many digital-based sessions together to help Sarah with everyday tasks and to prepare her for jobs that required digital skills. Most importantly, Sarah was able to support her daughter better with her homework.
