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.

In this interactive workshop Yvonne Hughes, Affordable Credit Officer – Renfrewshire Affordable Credit Alliance (RACA) will share some insights into what affordable credit is and know where to get help and support locally and nationally.

By the end of the workshop you should have a better understanding of:

• What is affordable credit
• Good, bad and ugly of credit
• Understanding illegal money lending
• Local and national help.

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