April is the start of the new financial year. Budget cuts will start to take hold meaning less money for everyone.
Times are hard and money is tight. If you are looking to manage your money make sure you get the best advice. There are several places in Preston available to give you free guidance if you need it.
CitizenZone regularly provides help at its Money Matters Roadshows. They will be in the St Matthew’s Ward in Preston at the Acregate Club on 19 March, 2 April, 16 April and 30 April. Open from 1pm to 4pm each day.
