Crosslight Advice is a debt advice and money education charity which works to lift people out of poverty and help them build a better future.
Our Financial Capability arm consists of our Money Course and Budget Coaching programme, and we are always looking for new volunteers to act as Budget Coaches, either face-to-face in one of our branches, or remotely via video or phone appointments.
Budget Coaches work with individual clients – often those who have completed a Money Course, or those who are being supported by Crosslight with debt issues – to help them apply simple money skills and budgeting techniques in a practical way to their own unique situation.
During a structured programme of up to four two-hour sessions over several months, you will work closely with clients to guide, support and encourage them as they journey to greater financial confidence and resilience.
If you have a passion to help those in need, an ability to communicate clearly and with compassion, a calm and patient manner, confident IT skills, competent numeracy skills, and an interest in personal finance and money management, we'd love to hear from you!
If you are interested in volunteering with Crosslight, the first step is to complete the volunteer enquiry form on our website: www.crosslightadvice.org/volunteer. We will then arrange to meet with you, to find out more about you and give you some more information on Crosslight’s work and the role of volunteer Budget Coach.
