Money is one of the last things we’re all expected to just figure out on our own — usually while we’re skint and stressed. Common Ground Finance Skills is the course we wish someone had run for us. It’s an honest, open and community-oriented way to talk about the most taboo thing ever – money.
The training directly builds tangible tools and skills to weather the cost of living crisis and address gaps in anti-poverty strategies.
We cover the real stuff: where your money actually goes, budgeting without the guilt, getting on top of debt, saving and investing in plain English, pensions and, most importantly, building something of your own. You’ll learn about alternative business models that uplift communities, like CiCs, Co-ops and social enterprise. Every week you leave with one actual thing to do.
It’s not advice and it’s not a sales pitch — nobody’s pushing a product. It’s practical financial education, built for real people and real communities. No jargon, no judgment, no suits – from people who have made all the mistakes.
Community finance starts with you. You can’t lift your community until you can hold your own ground first.
