BASINGSTOKE-based housing association Sentinel has teamed up with the Citizens Advice Bureau to host a workshop that will show residents how they can make their pounds and pennies go further.

On January 23, the two organisations will jointly run a course called ‘Making the Most of Your Money’ at the Popley Fields Community Centre.

The free course is open to all Sentinel Housing Association customers. During the three-hour workshop, experts will dish out tips on how residents can budget better and pay-off debts while ensuring they have enough to live on.

Other topics include how to set up direct debit payments for the rent, how to save for important events such as birthdays, and how to take out a loan from reputable organisations with manageable payment plans.

The workshop runs from 9am to 12pm at the community centre, in Carpenters Down, Popley. For more information, or to book a place, call 0800 195 5515, or email info@sentinelha.org.uk.
