It’s been a busy few months at Work Out Your Money, and we’re excited to share what we’ve been up to!
Supporting Families Through Summer
This summer, our team partnered with local schools and the Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme. The Family Fun Days were a highlight, giving us the chance to chat informally with parents and young people about how they manage their money and share ideas to help stretch it further. We even picked up a few tips ourselves!
Our seasonal theme, Surviving Summer, focused on:
- Day-to-day budgeting tips
- Saving on essentials
- Avoiding school holiday overspending
- Savvy shopping and healthy eating
- General cost-of-living support
Citizens Advice Update
We’re proud to continue serving the community in Havant and surrounding areas, as part of Citizens Advice Solent East (Havant branch), following the successful mergers of Citizens Advice Havant, Portsmouth, and Gosport. While the name has changed slightly, the trusted service provided in each branch remains the same; free, confidential and impartial advice and support for everyone.
👋 Welcoming New Team Members
We’re thrilled to introduce two fantastic additions to the WOYM team:
- Anita Fairbrother, Community Lead
Anita brings her passion for community engagement and personalised support to help strengthen local connections. - Chris Seward, Lead for Schools and Young People
Chris will be championing financial education for the next generation, working closely with schools and youth programmes.
