Money Advice, budgeting and health.

Please be aware that this project was completed before Longhurst Group merged with Grand Union Housing Group to become Amplius.

During a recent survey, money advice and budgeting were two of topics that our younger customers asked us to include on this page. We consulted with our Money Advisors, and they’ve shared some websites that have a wealth of information about these subjects. You can read more about each subject below.

One of our customers also won a competition on The Hub with her idea for a recipe sharing section. This has also been included on this page, so please start sharing your favourite recipe ideas.
