CAP Ashford Life Skills Course

Life skills is a friendly group that will give you the confidence and decision-making skills needed to live on a low income. You’ll learn practical money saving techniques, such as cooking on a budget and making money go further.

What to expect from the group:

• Community – We know that when it comes to saving money and making lifestyle changes, there’s so much we can learn from each other. Everyone finds dealing with the pressures of life a stressful and lonely challenge at times. That’s why life skills is designed as a community group, where everyone gets together to share practical skills in the areas of life that are impacted by our income, such as shopping on a budget and looking after our wellbeing and mental health.
• Course – Life skills usually runs over eight sessions. The group is designed to equip you with skills for every day life, including top tips for dealing with life’s pressures and navigating life on a low income.
  The sessions happen in a relaxed group environment, with a mixture of practical activities and informal discussions.
• Coaching – You’ll have the opportunity to benefit from informal one-to-one support from a trained Money Coach, who will help you to think through your individual spending choices, and create a simple budget that works for you. This will help you gain better control over your money, lightening the pressures money can bring and building your confidence and self-esteem in managing your finances.
