WHAT EMPLOYERS HAVE TO SAY
“One of the remarkable outcomes of these workshops was the boost in our employees’ confidence in handling financial matters.”
“The overwhelmingly positive feedback I received from our employees led us to take further action. I have invited Mel and the team from ‘The Money Collective’ to conduct a couple of drop-in sessions at our Civic Centre later in the year.”
“This newfound confidence has had a ripple effect, as our employees have engaged in meaningful conversations with their team members and even extended their insights and strategies to their family members.”
“I believe that their expertise in financial wellbeing can benefit a wider audience, and I am confident in recommending their services.”
“Overall, ‘The Money Collective’ has made a significant impact on our employees’ financial wellbeing.”
WHAT PARTICIPANTS HAVE TO SAY
“Cannot recommend them enough, gave actionable tips and tricks that have already been highly valuable.”
“I think the beauty is that quite a lot of people don’t think about things. You spend and you spend and don’t really budget properly week to week.”
“It showed us what behaviour change looks like and how do you do it. What we covered was enough to open our eyes to the decisions we make.”
“I liked to see the survey results to see that we’re all in this together.”
“The Money Collective provided valuable and insightful advice in a friendly, informative and non-judgmental manner.”
“I loved the way they approached identifying our relationship with money and debt. It was a real revelation.”
