Made of Money's impact

Made of Money is an award-winning 'emotional financial literacy' programme, which works with families on low incomes. 200 east London families are supported every year to improve their money management, as well as exploring the pressures which money puts on them. We also have a national partnership programme, with over 100 members trained to use Made of Money to benefit their communities across the UK.

"People get put off at the mention of money because it's such a big, worrying issue. It seems so scary. Not having the money to pay is quite shameful, such a dark place. I'd been unwell since 2004 with it, but since doing Made of Money I'm sleeping and dreaming again." Dainhea

Adrian's story
