 Hi everyone,

I am completely new here and I would like your input on some potential ideas.
 
I have worked in Finance, specifically for a one of the largest Debt Management companies in the country for many years.
 
I have gained much experience in handling debt and what people struggle with when it comes to Debt.
 
I am not here to represent my company or sell Debt Management to anyone but to present ideas to you, the people it really affects.
 
So to the idea,
 
I am currently wanting to build a road show / event / community get together to specifically deal with:
 
  • Helping managing finances,
  • Debt,
  • Living with recession and coming out the other side stronger
 
The main aim to bring communities together, advise people help them help themselves, friends, family, neighbours etc…
 
 
I would like to know:
o       Would it interest you?
o       Would you make the time to drop in?
o       Would you take part in any workshops we run?
o       Would you like to be more involved? Become a trainer to help others?
o       How much would you like to pay to visit the event?
-      £2-£3,
-       £3-£5,
-       £5+
 
Any and all thoughts are welcome, if you think your local community would like it, let me know tell me about it, if not tell me why.
 
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
 
Regards,
 
Andy

Hello Andy86 and welcome to the site.

It sounds like you have a great deal of experience behind you!

I think the idea of a roadshow is a great idea. However, I think one of the biggest problems would be getting people to attend. Most people who are in debt tend to go into "Hide Mode". For some they feel very ashamed, and would not want even a stranger to know their problems.

Perhaps if you were to link this with say CAB, then you may find a group of people who would want to come to the roadshow.

On the other hand, I may be very wrong!! Give it a go, but a small ad in the paper and see what response you get.

Hi

I'm Phoebe and its my first time on here!!....I think its a fab idea!!
So....the first thing that springs to mind is the roadshow called embarrassing bodies and money matters http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7898667.stm ..they had 400 people wanting to discuss finances turn up!!
So yeah even if you were just helping a few it would make a difference. And people would start to talk about their finances instead of burying their heads in the sand. Make it more mainstream and digestible!
I think it is a great idea, finances are directly linked to the economy, jobs,retirement and day-to-day living and quite frankly we need educating! So far we have become self-taught brokering via compare sites on internet for example. Yeah count me in......I'd advise/help with pensions and investments cheers Phoebe
