We have news of a wonderful new initiative of interest to all women across regional and metropolitan Victoria.

"Steps to Securing Your Financial Future" is a series of FREE workshops and seminars for women being run during Women&Money Month - September 2008 by the Queen Victoria Women’s Centre, in partnership with WIRE – Women’s Information and the Victorian Government.

27 Practical Workshop programs will be run in nine locations across Victoria. The locations for 2008 are: Altona Meadows, Geelong, Ararat, Mildura; Thornbury, Euroa, Box Hill, Mordialloc, and Sale. Local community trainers will facilitate each workshop program which comprises four, two hour sessions spread over four weeks to allow for out-of-session activities. The workshops are an opportunity to explore and review your approach to money, your spending and saving habits and relationship with money. The sessions will allow you to start thinking about financial goals and a plan of action for now and into the future and begin to look at information, resources and support to help you take steps to securing your financial future.

12 Informative Seminars will be run at the Queen Victoria Women's Centre. The seminars cover six essential money management topics for women of all ages and will be run on Tuesday evenings and Saturday’s from 2nd to 20th September. You can pick and choose the days and topics that are right for you.
