Many young adults grow up without ever being taught how to manage money. As a result, they can lack the confidence to budget, save or deal with debt, and may feel too embarrassed to ask for help. This matters because financial stress can affect mental health, strain relationships and even add pressure to NHS services. The MoneyHeave Community Project was set up to close this gap through accessible money confidence workshops. These sessions meet people where they are, without judgement or jargon.
From Lived Experience to Community Impact
MoneyHeave was founded by Roneish Myers, a finance professional with over ten years of experience. She saw people she knew caught in cycles of debt, confused by jargon and too ashamed to ask for help. As a result, she set up MoneyHeave. It offers a safe, practical space where people can learn about money without judgement. Since launching as a Community Interest Company, MoneyHeave has grown steadily. The organisation now has a small team of staff, interns and volunteers, and has secured support from funders including the National Lottery.
Today, MoneyHeave delivers interactive workshops on budgeting, saving, debt and scam awareness. Its flagship programme, “Boss Up Financially”, tracks outcomes before and after each course. Of the 130 people reached so far, 60% reported reduced financial stress, and 90% took action to improve their finances. MoneyHeave also runs an internship programme with the Jobcentre. Plus, it collaborates with the NHS and a local university to better understand the barriers young people face.
Workshops Backed by the John Good Group
With support from the John Good Group, MoneyHeave will deliver more targeted workshops for young adults and underrepresented groups. The grant will fund facilitator time, venue hire, accessibility support, printed materials and digital tools for hybrid delivery. The funding will also strengthen how MoneyHeave tracks outcomes and gathers feedback. This will build stronger foundations for future growth. The long-term ambition is bold: to help one million people adopt at least one sustainable financial habit by 2030.
“We are so grateful and excited to be recognised by the John Good Group. We started The MoneyHeave Community Project with limited resources, but with a big vision and belief that everyone deserves the knowledge and confidence to take control of their money. Being shortlisted is a reminder that people care about financial equality, and that community-led solutions really do matter. This grant will allow us to reach more people, deliver more workshops, and lay the groundwork for long-term change. Thank you.”
“Roneish brings real expertise and lived understanding to The MoneyHeave Community Project. Her passion for the community she serves is clear in every session she runs. You can see it in the trust she’s built with the people she works with. Partners they have worked with tell us how much her workshops help people, especially women rebuilding confidence after difficult experiences. Like many early-stage organisations, MoneyHeave needs support to meet real challenges around funding and capacity. But its impact so far speaks for itself. We’re confident that with the right support, this project can grow into something with lasting reach across the UK.”
