Moneywise Living delivers concentrated 121 support for those who are financially and digitally excluded to become more resilient and better able to deal with life challenges, in particular the rising energy costs and general of cost of living. 

 

Our diverse, skilled, patient and dependable advisers take time to understand the barriers holding back the individual from realising their aspirations; build a strong relationship; and support them at their pace and in a way that works for them to help them achieve their goals. 

 

This starts with building a more stable foundation by dealing with those immediate, debilitating or crisis issues such as housing, debt and well-being through direct support or supported referrals. Unless these vital and basic needs are met, it is unlikely that people can progress. 

 

We will then equip individuals with the financial and digital skills to identify and take cost of living reduction and energy efficiency measures and build resilience going forward. 

 

Finally we will focus on developing the personal and social confidence to participate within communities, and public and business sectors enabling independence, connection and the ability to achieve their goals such as training, employment, volunteering or simply enjoying a new hobby.
