COVID Cash Recovery is a free 2-hour course which upskills churches, charities and community workers to help individuals recover from the financial problems that have arisen due to the coronavirus.

COVID Cash Recovery is an information and signposting course, the session covers:

• General entitlements

• Rights

• Government and charitable grants

• Budgeting

• Help with bills

• Loans

• Debt

• Money strategies for making it through these next few months

The information and resources we provide through the ‘train-the-trainer’ model allows trusted members of the local community to signpost, and provide accurate information, to people in a flexible, non-advisory manner – allowing those trained to reach and help as many people as possible.

How it is delivered?

We deliver the course over ZOOM either as a general session or as a ‘group session’ where people at your organisation can get trained (for free!) all at once.

What about if lockdown changes won’t our training be out of date?

As we move out of lockdown, our resources are regularly updated to reflect changes to legislation or support as they happen. Once you are trained, you receive a password which gives you access to all of the resources and materials you need to keep up-to-date and continue to support members of your community!

We have included a sample of our resources in this email, but they can also be accessed on our website. Our taster content includes the three slides from our 3 sub sections:

• Empowerment

• Strategy

• Dealing with deficit

It also includes our course introductory slides which are delivered at the beginning of a CCC training session.

So far over 500 community leaders, churches and organisations have been trained – those trained collectively say their training could help benefit over 17,000 people in their local area!
