An eight-week course to help those struggling financially is being run in Malvern.

It is designed to help identify the skills they need to live well on a low income.

Members of the course will learn practical money saving techniques which will include cooking on a budget, living healthily for less and making their money go further.

The course will be hosted by Malvern Baptist Church in association with CAP (Christians Against Poverty).

It has been developed to complement CAP’s respected debt counselling service and will be run by a friendly group who plan to give clients the confidence and decision making skills to live on less.

“It’s all about discovering new ways to live for a brighter future,” said organiser Dave Clarke, minister at the Baptist Church. “Each course member will receive informal support from one of our Life Skills coaches.”

The course begins on Wednesday, October 11 and runs from 1pm to 2.30pm for eight weeks.
