GSPCA team thank Steph from Lloyds Bank International Ltd for their talk on Financial Wellbeing

 Today after a rescue equipment training session a member of staff from Lloyds Bank International Ltd attended the GSPCA morning to give a talk to the team about Financial Well Being.

The Bringing Banking to You Manager Islands Community Banking Stephanie Duskova gave an informative impartial talk and Q&A with 19 of the GSPCA team.

The talk focused on financial well being and how they could help with impartial advice. Lloyds Bank International Ltd have a focus on bringing banking into the community and the service is not to promote their products but to help those that have questions on managing their finances from looking at mortgages to consolidating debt.

Around every 6 months team members from Bringing Banking to You spend a day at the GSPCA so that staff and volunteers can chat to them about ideas, concerns or general advice which is always very much appreciated their time.

Lloyds Bank International Ltd have helped with talks and advice sine 2018.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “A huge thank you to the Steph from Lloyds Bank International Ltd for her time today, it was hugely appreciated.”

“Many of us find it difficult to find time in the day to get to a bank for advice and since 2019 many of the team enjoyed chatting to the Lloyds Bank International ltd staff and learning about financial wellbeing.”

“A huge thank you to the Bringing Banking to You Manager and to Lloyds Bank International Ltd.”

“I am sure if your work place would like them to attend for their talk and advice please do get in touch with them.”

“At the GSPCA we are always looking for speakers, trainers and those able to help improve the teams skills and wellbeing and if you know anyone that can help please email me on [email protected] or call 01481 257261 .”

“As well as our own personal financial wellbeing we have to raise £3000 a day to run the GSPCA and we are always looking for support in many ways.”

“There are many ways to support our work and the seal pups from making a donation towards their care to donating or helping towards the new much needed Wildlife Hospital.”
