Financial Wellness Course in Scarriff Library
Clare County Council, in partnership with Limerick Clare Education and Training Board (LCETB), is providing financial information to all in the community as part of the Skills for Life Programme.
The Financial Wellness course will take place in Edna O’Brien Library, Scarriff this June. This four-week course, in partnership with the LCETB, is free and open to all adults. People can register for the course on fetchcourses.ie. Participants will learn about managing debt, budgeting for a family, budgeting for living alone, grant funding, saving, social welfare benefits and taxes. Refreshments will also be provided and parents with children are welcome.
This new nationwide initiative is aimed at equipping individuals with essential skills to navigate modern life. Available across all 30 local authority library services in Ireland, the programme will offer support in: basic digital skills; financial literacy; media literacy; business and employment skills; health awareness; and sustainable lifestyles and environmental awareness.
The programme’s core objective is to provide equitable access, across all library services, to resources, workshops, and training that foster lifelong learning, personal development, and community engagement.
Helen Walsh, Clare County Librarian, said, “The Skills for Life programme is part of the national library strategy, ‘The Library is the place’. Libraries are an essential part of local communities, and I’m delighted that we are facilitating lifelong learning with the Financial Wellness Programme in Scarriff Library.”
This course will initially take place in Scarriff Library and will then take place in other libraries around the county in the autumn.
