Live4Less is MEA's unique action learning course which helps individuals and families to live more sustainably in an 'age of austerity'. It facilitates 'crowdwisdom' and peer-to-peer learning, encouraging participants to share knowledge of local services, tips and tricks for living well for less. The course generates discussion and reflection on consumption and frugality, sharing resources and swapping skills. A brochure with more information is attached.

Topics covered include: budgeting, energy efficiency, utilities, food, travel and volunteering.

People attending the course will be better able to manage their finances, make savings on their living costs and understand what their priority payments are. They will be able to share their knowledge of how to do this with friends, family and neighbours.

Our Train the Trainer course offers you everything you need to run the course yourself:

Led by an experienced trainer who has delivered the direct course themselves
Offers the opportunity to have a go at sections of the course for yourself
You will have electronic access to all handouts, session plans and other resources after the course

The course is ideal for anyone working with people living on a low income. It will be useful for Financial Inclusion Officers and Tenant Engagement Officers within Housing Associations, front line staff in Local Authorities, and Adult Education Trainers working with those who are struggling with their finances.

Places cost £199+VAT and include a short lunch time tour of our eco friendly offices in Shrewsbury. The venue is less than a five minute walk from Shrewsbury train station.
