Digital and financial skills

Moneywise Plus

Leicestershire County Council is a delivery partner organisation for Moneywise Plus.

The aims of the project are to ensure that participants have:

• Increased financial confidence – greater capacity to manage daily budgets, making the most of money, opening a bank account, mobile/internet banking, and maximising income (e.g. utility switching).
• Increased digital confidence – applying for jobs online, using the internet safely, staying in touch with family and friends, accessing online services, and using computers, tablets and mobile devices.
• Increased confidence and reduced isolation

This will be done through:

• Outreach sessions at dedicated venues across Leicester and Leicestershire
• Financial and digital group workshops
• One to one adviser support
• Opportunities for volunteering

Leicestershire County Council’s role will be to deliver Digital Drop-in Sessions at libraries around the county.
