WEBINARS: ARCHIVE

Support Network, in partnership with the ICE Benevolent Fund, bring you a series of webinars to help your finances.

Regularly reviewing personal finances can be very beneficial to both financial and mental wellbeing.  Accordingly, Support Network is co-hosting a series of free webinars to help with this process.

Webinars are short and focussed and delivered by ‘Better With Money’ who are specialists in this area and are available to members and their family - you can attend as many as you would like to.  (A recording of the webinar is sent to all those who register to attend, so that you can still watch the content if you cannot join the live event, or would prefer to watch it later.)
