Building Financial Resilience in Digital Times

Do you work in the third sector and want to learn about what is really going on in Leeds when it comes to money/debt/poverty? Digital technology is being used more and more to collect debt as well as managing money. This in-person event is all about, real talk, and will help identify resources and tools to help people build strong financial resilience. We will also take a look at the toll it takes on people who are helping those who need it most. Meet colleagues in the sector, learn from pros, and get inspired to identify ways of helping people take control of their digital financial future, as well as identifying and addressing the emotional resilience needed by frontline staff delivering those vital services to those in need.
