The aim of the Financial Capability Project is to empower ethnic minority (EM) communities across Scotland to become more confident and better informed about the financial choices and decisions they make to help improve their resilience for the future.

This is one of the 12 interactive workshops we will be delivering this year. These workshops will be targeting EM men/women/young adults and the wider EM communities who might be struggling to manage their money on a daily basis.

Craig Syme , Financial Capability Officer, Money Advice Scotland will be delivering this interactive session.

This session will cover the current energy crisis, which has seen our energy costs soar to record highs. We’ll take a look at what you’ll see on your energy bill, how it’s calculated, as well as breaking down the current energy crisis and what it means.

By the end of the session you will have a better understanding:

• What you’ll find on your energy bill;
• What is the energy crisis and what does it mean?
• What help is in place to help consumers with the increase;
• Where to go for advice
• Energy saving tips.

The Financial Capability Programme also offers one to one support to help you on your journey to achieve your financial goals
