The UK Money Guider Network partners are thrilled to be bringing you a free lunchtime conference for front line practitioners delivering money guidance in their roles. The conference is being offered as part of the Money and Pensions Service’s Talk Money Week campaign (#TalkMoney), which is designed to get the nation talking about money, from pocket money to pensions. In May 2021, MaPS launched four Money Guider Networks (#MoneyGuiders) to support practitioners from a range of sectors across the UK. Forums, workshops, and webinars have been running in each of the nations and now there’s a new opportunity to meet and collaborate with each other. Take your pick from either of the 1.5hr conference sessions or come along to both and network with more people. The conference will bring together our four expert Network partners to explore the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on money guidance and its importance for economic recovery. Quaker Social Action (England), Hafal (Wales), Reed in partnership (Northern Ireland) and The Improvement Service (Scotland) will be sharing their insights on how the Money Guider Networks can support those on the front-line delivering money guidance, to take their help further.
