Money Skills for Life, a new project designed to help people change their life choices and their relationship with money to ensure a debt-free future for themselves and their families, is being launched in the Camborne, Pool, Illogan and Redruth (CPIR) Community Network Area.

This scheme was developed at a CPIR Network Panel meeting, a public meeting which local residents are encouraged to attend to meet their Cornwall Councillors as well as representatives from Town and Parish Councils to discuss local issues or concerns.

Citizens Advice Cornwall, Cornwall Council, Redruth Town Council, Camborne Town Council and Coastline Housing are all involved.

The first step of the project involves the recruitment of six trainee life coaches from within the CPIR community who will be trained and supported to provide guidance and support to a group of 36 local residents. 

This is a pilot project which if successful could be reproduced.
