This session looks at why budgeting is important for your financial wellbeing and provides a comprehensive overview of how to budget and keep your finances on track.

Whether you’re managing day-to-day costs, trying to stay on top of bills, or planning for the future, a clear budget can give you greater control and confidence with your money. This practical, jargon-free session will walk you through the process step by step, from working out your income and outgoings and separating essential from non-essential spending, to building a realistic budget that suits your circumstances. You’ll also look at ways to save and make your money go further, how to plan for irregular costs and unexpected expenses, and how to keep on track if things change.

The session is suitable for anyone who wants to feel more in control of their finances, whether you’re new to budgeting or looking to refresh your approach. No prior knowledge is needed, and there will be an opportunity to ask questions.
