The Mission Australia employment agency had given Back 2 Family Basics the opportunity to conduct several budgeting workshops with their job seeking clients, the workshops proved to be very successful and beneficial for both the clients and our selves as the facilitators. The feed back, testimonials and delivery of the workshop was very positive, the clients came up with some great ideas of how to make further savings on every day expenses along with alternative methods for paying off or buying goods. Sadly Mission Australia has lost the tender for being an employment provider but we are looking at conducting workshops, with the new providers. If you are interested in holding a workshop contact us at inquiries@back2familybasics.com.au
We are sure that every one who did a tax return would have been grateful for the $900 they received off the government for the stimulus package, lets hope you put it to good use by paying off some of the bills, purchasing a much needed item, a special treat or put it towards paying off the mortgage. What ever you chose to do with your $900, we are sure you enjoyed spending it!
It was wonderful to see that Back 2 Family Basics was nominated in the above awards in two categories, those being – New and Emerging business (under 2 years old) and the Innovation section, so fingers crossed for the 8 th September when the finalists are announced and the winners announced at the Gala Presentation Dinner 31 st October.
