Financial Inclusion News - 12 June 2024
Welcome to this week's Financial Inclusion Network news
The Financial Inclusion Network is an informal group of over 200 members taken from the Public and Third Sectors which covers all areas of South Lanarkshire. This network is to share information from a wide range of themes. We hope to provide a new update each week that can be accessed by all members at any time to see what is going on in the area under the headings below. If you would like an item included within our weekly news, please complete our short online form here: https://forms.office.com/e/Ht5w7iAuFi.

Money is not the only problem – Getting Involved
Getting involved in your community can help you become a part of something and give you chances to learn new things, make friends and make a difference to others. This section shows some ways that you can do that.
You can make a difference by volunteering your time, knowledge and skills to help others. Volunteering is also a great way to meet new people and helps to build your confidence and learn new skills.
