Cost of Living Cafe - Bilsthorpe Library - Adult Learning

About this course

About this course

With the rise in cost of living, we’re all looking for ways to make our money stretch. The Cost of Living Café at the newly refurbished Bilsthorpe Library will help you think of new ways to make the pennies go that little bit further. 

If you are looking for tips and ways to budget, save money, or just some savvy shopping tips, book a place and drop in. 

You’ll be able to pick and mix from our stations, depending on what is most relevant to you. There will be activities, videos and tools for you to take away. The café will cover a range of topics including:

- Personal budgeting, knowing where your money goes

- Meal planning to minimise waste and save money

- Saving on fuel whether it is petrol, gas, electric or water

- General money saving tips day to day

- Knowing your benefits and entitlements

- Where to get help and support if needed

This session is part of the Multiply project and is designed with individuals who do not have a GCSE maths Grade C/4 or equivalent in mind.

Refreshments will be available free of charge.

This course is for people who don’t have a level 2 qualification in maths (GCSE C/4 or above). You will self-declare this on the enrolment form.
