These are informal sessions which are designed to respond to the needs and interests of those that attend and help people to support each other within their own communities.
Activities might include: mapping existing financial support services, discovering and developing the skills to use internet resources, basic numeracy skills, developing jargon busters, finding the best deals for services such as utilities and looking at responsibilities of landlords. There is also the chance to question and learn about class structures and the structures of poverty and wealth.
Themes each week will depend on what the group would like to do.
