Community Money delivers Rights & Responsibilities training to Arhag residents
The training blends both community & business objectives. It improves the personal finance skills of Arhag's residents whilst explaining tenant responsibilities, the importance of rental income and reducing rent arrears, and the process behind arrears management.
The first ten pioneering residents gave the course high marks, and came away with a better understanding of money management, prioritising debt and the income arrears process.
This is the first of 4 such sessions and is part of a comprehensive package of financial inclusion support and staff & resident training, which also includes our Community Money Advocates course.

80% of our Advocates improve their financial circumstances...
since being on our Community Money Advocates course. We have trained more than 300 people over the last few years and have just completed our first impact survey, which we will do quarterly going forward, to measure the impact of our work. The 80% is a wonderful result. Will post more results in the next few days and load up the full survey next week.

In the 18th century more than 150.000 debtors were jailed...
Now the stigma of personal debt has been lifted...but are we blaming others too much: the banks for making credit available; the government for not regulating enough; the economy for tanking?
