The Moneywise Plus project is funded by the European Social Fund and The National Lottery Community Fund. Led by Reaching People, the project is delivered through 6 member/partner organisations each with their own strengths, areas of expertise and reach into the community. The project operates in Leicester and Leicestershire and provides free 1-2-1, holistic support tailored to the individual's needs with the aim of increasing the clients financial and digital, skills and confidence to enable them to move towards employment, education or training. Universal Credit, as well as related, wider financial, debt and benefit issues, is a significant concern for the clients we support.
