MoneyMates

MoneyMates support groups are based around the concept of sharing and learning together as a group.

Facilitators encourage group members to learn from others, get control over their financial lives, and build resilience.

What happens in a MoneyMates session?

Facilitators help the group to talk openly about money and finances (not necessarily about their own debt, but about choices, options and behaviours).

Together, over several weeks they can:

• learn more about getting control of debt, budgeting and cash flow, financial products, safer credit and growing their resources
• learn from other people who are in similar situations, share their own insights and knowledge and build support networks with people going through the same experiences
• access other information and support such as helplines and the Sorted website
• build up their networks with whānau and their community.
