Making Money Easier
This project is developing a range of resources aimed at making financial products and services accessible to people with learning disabilities. This includes creating a picture bank, easy words and explanations of key financial terms and the publication of a guide to banking, supporting materials and a website. Moving on Planning Ahead
This UK-wide project is designed to help people with a learning disability to plan for their future. They will receive information about living independently and what that really means including information about finances, support and benefits. This project follows on from the Making Money Easier Project.
