This week is Financial Capability (FinCap) Week, and for members of the Online Centres Network, it’s the perfect time to highlight the work you do helping people with money management.

Here are just some of the ways that network members can get involved:

Check out the FinCap Week participation pack - there are dozens of ideas for how to engage with people and talk about dealing with money matters.
Register your activities on the FinCap Week website.
Tweet about the work you’re doing helping people with money, using the hashtags #FinCapWeek and #TalkMoney.

We’re also really proud of the work we’re doing with partners like Lloyds Banking Group, Comic Relief and the Money Advice Service to help people better manage their finances so do take a look and share some of these resources:

Money My Way

This area of the Learn My Way website brings together dozens of resources covering budgeting, benefits, dealing with debt and much more. It’s been curated to include the most reliable, trustworthy and expert information so it’s perfect for anyone struggling with different aspects of their finances.

Managing your money online - Learn My Way

This subject area of the website includes courses developed with our partners Lloyds Banking Group that can help people with not only the conveniences (and hazards) of online banking but also how to make money go further.
