Money in Mind
Money in Mind is a free financial wellbeing service.
We know that poor mental health can make earning and managing money harder. And worrying about money can make your mental health worse.
That’s why Money in Mind offers information and practical support for those experiencing economic hardship.
Working with our partners, we bring together expertise to support our clients to:
- Navigate the welfare support available in Leeds (supported by our 1:1 Navigator)
- Access practical support (such as food parcel, data banks, or small grants)
- Gain advice and skills on how to improve economic situation (via our economic workshops facilitated by our in-house Coach)
Money in Mind is funded and guided by a partnership of Leeds Mind, Leeds North & West Foodbank Network, and Citizens Advice Leeds and Citizens Advice Chapeltown.
Our workshops are open to any who needs them. Simply find a course you wish to attend (via the timetable below) and book by completing this short form.
Our 1:1 Navigator offer is limited, so please speak with your Leeds Mind, local foodbank and/or Citizens Advice worker to discuss a possible referral.
For any questions, you can contact us on 0113 230 2631 (DeLacey House Reception) or email us at MoneyinMind@leedsmind.org.uk
