About this Event
Join us for a special event marking five years of the Money Guiders NI Community, held during Mental Health Awareness Week 2026.#
This anniversary event brings together the people, partners and organisations who have shaped the Money Guiders NI journey. Through inspiring keynote speakers, practical insights from frontline practitioners, an expert panel discussion, we’ll explore how money guidance has evolved over the years and how it continues to transform lives.
We’re thrilled to welcome Professor Siobhán O’Neill, Mental Health Champion for Northern Ireland, who will share evidence‑based insights on how financial stress impacts mental health, and what truly works in supporting individuals and communities.
Together, we’ll look back at our progress, highlight the stories and successes that have defined the Network, and explore what’s next: future collaboration, innovation and confidence building to break the taboo around money and mental health.
Whether you’ve been with the Network since the beginning or you’re joining for the first time, this event is an opportunity to learn, reflect, connect and celebrate shared impact we can continue to make together.
