Being in control of your finances can make a huge difference to your well-being – whether it be to save or
preventing debt. Kirkby Lonsdale Community Cupboard now have a member of our team trained as a budget
coach to help you put together your own budget. We cannot offer debt advice as this is a regulated service but can refer you if needed.
What is a budget?
A budget is a list of all the money you receive and all the things you spend money on every month.
Why should I bother?
Making a budget is the first step towards taking control of your finances. Budgeting helps you to see where your money is
going, so it’s easier to make sure that you’ve covered all of the things you need to pay for.
Whether you’re worried about missing important payments, or simply wanting a clearer picture of your finances, there are
lots of benefits to making a budget. A budget can help you find ways to save money. You may also find that you’re
spending more than you thought on interest and charges for credit cards, overdrafts or other contracts.
Our budget coach is available for all local residents at a drop-in session at our Lunch Club, at Lunesdale Hall, every Monday 12 noon to 1.30pm
