From Financial & Digital Vulnerability to Inclusion Event

Discover the challenges and some of the solutions of helping people who are struggling.

Join Calderdale Anti-Poverty Partnership and Money Guiders England Network at the Kings Centre in Halifax for this special event on tackling financial vulnerability and digital exclusion on Thursday, 18th September.

Financial vulnerability and digital exclusion can both isolate from support people who are struggling to get by. Ensuring that people have the support that they need can make a huge impact.

Emma Waller, of Money Minded, will identify and help you to explore what financial vulnerability can look like and guide you to proven strategies for effective support.

A speaker from The Good Things Foundation will address the challenges of digital exclusion and will share what digital inclusion can look like, and will suggest practical tools you can use in the fight against digital exclusion.

What You’ll Learn From This Event

  • What financial vulnerability can look like
  • The key challenges people face when managing money
  • Tried-and-tested strategies to build trust, boost confidence and offer effective support
  • What digital exclusion is
  • What digital inclusion can look like
  • Practical solutions to help people move from digital exclusion to inclusion

The event will start at 9am with a free networking breakfast.

Please RSVP to the event here.

There will be a marketplace at the event for stakeholders who support residents to tackle financial vulnerability and digital exclusion. Please note: The marketplace stalls are specifically for organisations that work in these areas, or organisations that are delivering projects around these topics and want to showcase this work.
