The team in Kent were delighted to be invited by My Birth Support CIC to lead a recent session focused on practical financial skills: budgeting, saving, and understanding credit scores. It was a valuable opportunity to connect directly with parents and caregivers, sharing insights that can make a real difference in their daily lives.
The session, led by our Community Engagement Officer, Jenni, fostered open and honest conversations. Participants shared their experiences with debt and credit management, and all took the proactive step of checking their credit scores online. This level of engagement reinforces our belief in providing accessible, relevant financial education.
At Wave Community Bank, we understand that financial well-being is a cornerstone of family stability. We’re committed to delivering tailored support that meets the specific needs of our community, and this session with My Birth Support CIC is a great example of that commitment in action.
