You, Me & Money

You, Me & Money aims to highlight and prevent economic abuse in young adult relationships.

This unique online toolkit can be accessed by young adults and provides help on navigating tricky money conversations, sets out the financial steps in a relationship, and provides plenty of tips on how to spot a financially unhealthy relationship.

Dr Jozica Kutin’s research into young adults’ experience of financial abuse led her to collaborate with YLab. A series of co-designed workshops with young adults helped discover their key money concerns and needs, and how best to address this.

The You, Me and Money toolkit is an interactive quiz, designed to lead the user to better understand their overall money values and approach, encourage better money conversations and provides resources to help.

Although designed primarily for young relationships the tools are relevant for all adults.

Be the Boss

The Salvation Army’s financial literacy education program. Each workshop is approximately 2 to 3 hours long and can be tailored to suit the needs of the audience and takes about 2 to 4 sessions to complete, depending on the group.
