On Saturday Iti Rearea Collective hosted our very first Money Mindset class with 21 former refugees and migrant entrepreneurs. This was an entirely new module that we co-funded with the Community Impact Team at Auckland council when we could see there was a need for deep learning in our community around financial safety and wellbeing. Our aim was to further educate our participants on safe borrowing practices, how to budget for personal and business expenses and the best way to w**d out those "spending leaks" that can be holding you back from achieving your savings targets.

We had great interest in the class with many participants asking when the next money session will be, which is so awesome! I'm really proud of our IRC team for being agile and pivoting with our community's needs. A big part of who we are as an organisation!
