Mindful Money Day
October 1st at Seacourt Tower, Oxford. 9.30am to 4.30pm

Mindful Money Day is a major event that we will be hosting in collaboration with CAB and National Mind. We have organised a one off, invitation only day to promote financial capability and mental health. The day is designed to provide service users and front line staff with the tools and confidence to manage the money that they have. It will focus on mental health issues as they affect service users and their money, but will also provide a toolkit of ideas and practical suggestions about managing money. We have an experienced trainer (Linda Leonard from Stevenage Mind) who will be providing case study based help in managing and advising on money matters. It will focus on:

  •       Making ends meet
  •       Keeping track of your finances
  •       Planning ahead
  •       Choosing financial products
  •       Staying informed about financial matters

    • Mindful Money Day will provide front line staff and service users with increased confidence in dealing and advising on money matters - an area which we all find difficult. We will shortly be issuing publicity material.

    As part of this day, we are also offering more in-depth training to staff who will be willing to volunteer on the day as facilitators who will direct small break out groups. This training will be free and will provide you with the skills and confidence to run your own Mindful Money Groups. Places on this training will be limited.

    Please contact David Bryceland at david.bryceland@oxfordshire-mind.org.uk or on 0775 4999 411 to confirm who will be attending as soon as you can, or for more information.
