The Olive Branch was recently nominated for the Spirit of Lancashire Awards 2011 and won

through to the final three in the Health and Wellbeing Category.

Thanks to all the volunteers whose hard work has enabled The Olive Branch to receive

such recognition.

The presentations were made at the De Vere Hotel in Blackpool where we all got the chance

to relax and enjoy the excellent evening. Thanks to everyone involved…

“Manage your money and live your life”

Debt is an increasing problem for many of the people in this country and in order to try and address this in some small way The Olive Branch (www.the-olivebranch.org.uk) in conjunction with Christians Against Poverty (www.capuk.org ) will be holding coaching sessions in budgeting and money management. The Olive Branch has four trained CAP money coaches able to work with course delegates to empower people to regain control of their money. These courses are free and will be held in various locations across the city. All course material is free (apart from £2 for a delegate workbook) and the excellent tools can all be accessed free on-line. The course is run over 3 weeks with one 2 hour session weekly and CAP money coaches available to discuss any issues.
