This training builds on our Love Learning about Money programme - feedback from previous participants: 

100% of practitioners would recommend the Love Learning about Money training to a colleague.

"This training was fantastic - I think it will be such a valuable programme to be able to deliver to families, especially considering the current economic climate" 

"I love the way it's broken down into clear sections. I am looking forward to particularly using the health and wellbeing as this would complement the work I am doing with PEEP groups." 

"It's a good resource for a much-needed topic. Managing money is something that people need help with, particularly some of our more vulnerable learners. There’s nothing else out there that I know of that does this in a child friendly way."

"I liked the flexibility. You didn’t have to just go ‘here’s the programme, here’s the content, off you go’. You could mix and match it, swap the weeks, whatever you feel".
