Money Management

The first step in taking control of your money is making a budget. Work out how much money you have coming in and what you are spending it on. It can help you stay on top of your bills and start saving.

Once you have put your budget together, check if you have enough income coming in to cover all the important bills and things like food and fuel.

If you don’t have enough coming in and are struggling to make ends meet, please get in touch with the Financial Inclusion Team, via email referrals@aha.org.uk , or phone the main office on : 03451 772244
