NatWest Financial FoundationsWorkshops

NatWest understands that for many people, these are tough times. As the cost-of-living crisis and unprecedented economic environment throws challenges at so many, financial capability has never been so important.

Industry statistics show that almost 8 in 10 UK employees take their money worries to work, affecting their performance. 4.2 million worker days each year are lost in absences because of a lack of financial well-being. That’s the equivalent of £626 million in lost output.

NatWest is offering free Financial Foundations Workshops aiming to help people, organisations and community groups to build money skills and confidence. The workshops are themed around four topics:

Building Blocks – supporting participants to get to grips with money basics, with an introduction to banking, budgeting, borrowing and credit scores.

Changes and Choices – which explores your relationship with money and how to navigate the unexpected.

Fraud and scams – learning how to identify common financial scams and how to protect yourself from fraudsters. Cost of Living – understanding how to tackle the cost of living by exploring budgeting tips, savings strategies and what to do if you are struggling with debt.

Val Hodgson, NatWest Branch Manager in Chester said “We are proud to offer a free service through a range of Workshops to help individuals, organisations and community groups at all stages of life to build money skills and confidence.

“Our Financial Foundations Workshops are available for both big and small groups. We don’t give advice and our workshops have been created to offer money tips and boost confidence. There are 4 different workshops available lasting between 45 and 60 minutes.”
