WE ARE HERE TO HELP
The aim of our service is to educate people to manage their finances effectively and to empower them so that they can develop their own resources in better money management.
We offer a range of services from one-off crisis advice to comprehensive on-going support and mentoring. Our clients are fully involved and in control of making decisions regarding their income and spending.[/vc_column_text]
OUR VISION
‘People have better lives because they can successfully manage their finances.’
The great benefit of the Bay Financial Mentors is that not only is it a supportive and confidential service, it’s also free.
MISSION STATEMENT
Our well-trained team builds on the strengths and skills of our clients to enable them to develop their financial capability.
As well as the support we provide to individuals and families, the Bay Financial Menors has trained facilitators who help develop our community by providing workshops, seminars and training. We are the number one provider of ‘Sorted’ talks in the BOP including:
The Tauranga Budget Advisory Service was first established in 1972 and is a voluntary, not-for-profit organisation. As an independent body affiliated to the National Building Financial Capability Charitable Trust (NBFCCT) we share a common Code of Ethics, philosophy, and commitment to the principles of sound Money Management.
As well as Financial Mentors, we have Money Mates who are trained Facilitators, accredited to the Commission for Financial Capability (CFFC) standards. They provide courses to teach invaluable financial skills to our clients, community groups and businesses.
Our volunteer Financial Mentors are trained to FinCap standards, gaining a certificate of competency that is renewed each year following the completion of professional development courses.
