Neighbourhood skills hub

WLM St Luke’s Neighbourhood Hub is a friendly, relaxed community space in Kennington. We offer ways to help you get more confident in managing your money as well as supporting you in using computers and getting online.

New to online learning? We will help you get online with phone support and practice video calls.

Money Matters courses

Money Matters helps you get more confident at managing your money, finding good deals and making a budget which works. It’s also about helping us understand our feelings around money and helps with stress and anxiety. We look at:

Shopping and supermarket tricks
Budgeting
Understanding credit and debt
Saving money on fuel bills
Getting better at talking about money

Money Champions courses

This shorter course gives solid information about what to do if you are worrying about money – information you can share with friends, neighbour and family. You will learn how to cut costs fast and where to get help if you are struggling with money or in a debt crisis. We look at:

Causes of debt
Top tips for cutting bills
Spotting the signs someone is struggling with money worries
Local and national debt agencies

*The courses are mainly for Lambeth residents and are free for people on certain benefits or earning less than the London living wage, with a small fee for anyone else. They’re funded bythe GLA and Lambeth Adult Learning Service.

Digi-buddies

Confused by computers? At our Digibuddies sessions, our friendly volunteers help you get more confident using IT and going online. We will help with lots of things including applying for benefits (including Universal Credit), searching for jobs, writing emails and filling in forms.

Accredited IT courses

We also offer ten-week IT courses, run here at St Luke’s by Morley College’s amazing tutors. Look out for dates for the next course or give us a call to find out how to enrol.

Money Champions Volunteers

WLM St Luke’s is always keen to hear from anyone interested in volunteering. The Money Champions model works in our neighbourhood with people sharing skills and tips with their networks. If you have specific skills around money management or helping people get to grips with computers, then feel free to get in touch with us for an informal chat.
