NEW: Talk Money Monday Drop-ins

We’re pleased to announce the launch of our new Talk Money Monday Drop-ins.

Held every Monday, 1pm-2pm, in the Community Hub at Exton Park, these sessions give you the opportunity to drop in to have a chat with one of our Student Money Advisers about any money/finance queries which might be on your mind. The first session will take place on Monday 3 March.

We’ve created these new sessions in response to the feedback you gave us in some of last term’s surveys regarding wanting easier/quicker access to financial information and support.

Whether you’re stumped with budgeting, want some top tips on how to save money, or just need some help navigating your finances at university, these sessions can help. Just let the team know what’s going on and they’ll be able to work out how to support you best.

Our drop-in appointments are around 10 minutes, however if your situation is a little more complicated, that’s no problem – our Money Advisers can book you a longer appointment on another day to go through it in more detail.
