Emma Alley KPMG

Emma was one of the volunteers involved in the development of KPMG’s Get Cents programme which is an innovative series of three modules designed by KPMG staff and delivered to North Wall Community Training Centre (CTC).

 

The programme focuses on three areas:

Module 1: Exploring attitudes towards money

Module 2: Spending, saving and personal budgeting

Module 3: Banking and borrowing

 

Three volunteers deliver the course material in a casual environment in a hands-on, interactive way. Core to the success of this initiative is that volunteers build up a relationship with the young people in a ‘mentor style’.

 

KPMG are delighted with the opportunity to engage staff to deliver a truly practical initiative to a community organisation that they are neighbours with.

 

It allows employees to utilise their skill sets and expertise to benefit a community group and ensures that not only do the people participating in the Get Cents programme gain an insight and knowledge into financial matters but KPMG staff also get an opportunity for personal development.

 

Feedback from volunteers working on the project has been very positive and staff who delivered the programme have thoroughly benefited from the experience.
