Charity organisation Business and Education in London South (BELS) is offering 600 free two hour workshops in personal finance to young adults.

The Money4 Life workshop is aimed at the most deprived young people in the area and is designed to prevent them ending up as victims of rapacious banks and credit card companies. The subjects covered include achieving enough self-knowledge to budget sensibly, prioritising spending, choosing financial products, resisting marketing pressures, tackling money problems if they happen and trying to save.
