Workshop 1: Making Money Work – A Creative Finance 101 for Entrepreneurs, Students & Changemakers – Wednesday 30th July 2025
Running a business, launching a start-up or developing a project can be thrilling but let’s be honest, when it comes to finance, many of us are winging it.
This interactive and creative workshop peels back the curtain on the numbers behind the vision. Whether you’re just getting started or scaling something big, you’ll walk away with clarity, confidence, and tools you can use immediately. No jargon. No spreadsheets (unless you want them). Just practical, energising support.
