YouthNet launches money advice podcasts

1 min read Youth Work
YouthNet has launched a series of online guides and podcasts offering money management tips to young people.

The Bringing Money Advice to Life features have been added to the charity's advice website TheSite.org.

Included is video and audio clips of young people's experiences of issues such as working below the minimum wage, saving and dealing with bank charges.

Fiona Dawe, chief executive of YouthNet, said: "The bleak financial prospects facing today's 16 to 24-year-olds means there is a particular need for financial advice and support that's specifically designed for young people.

 "A key way of engaging this age-group is through peer support, which is why we've created real-life stories that help to make financial information understandable and allow our users to relate to the information on a personal level, giving them the confidence to get the help they need."
