Passport to Housing Sessions
We deliver high quality and engaging group sessions to people as part of our "Passport to Housing" Programme.
Organisations such as youth groups, charities, CICs, businesses and more can book for us to deliver our Passport to Housing sessions. We are able to offer the full suite of sessions or can cherry-pick sessions to create a bespoke offering to suit the learners needs.
We are keen to ensure that participants enjoy sessions and have fun whilst building personal money skills and knowledge. We aim to widen participation in adult learners to develop confidence and increase personal motivation as well as sharing practical advice and tips on money/consumer matters.
Tell me and I will forget - Show me and I will remember - Involve me and I will understand
The sessions are specifically targeted to meet the needs of each group and are run as participative workshops providing a supportive and informal learning environment. Each session lasts for about 2 - 2 ½ hours with a comfort break in the middle.
We are aware that some participants may have difficulties with reading, writing and math's or other issues so we arrange hands on exercises and activities to ensure that no-one is made to feel uncomfortable or threatened. We provide handouts for each session and participants are not asked to share any personal information.
Each session has been developed to cover a different aspect of money management and provides practical help for people whatever their income. Our sessions have been designed to improve awareness and knowledge in participants to help them to make the right financial choices.
Sessions are FREE for those who live, work or study in Bolton and are held throughout the area. Please check our News and what's on page to find more information about current and forthcoming sessions.
