About the programme

Funded by Her Majesty’s Revenues and Customs (HMRC), the Ethnic Minority Money Wise Programme (EMMWP) is a unique programme aiming to close the poverty gap in ethnic minority communities in Scotland by raising awareness of HMRC products and services, i.e. Tax Credits and Child Trust Fund at grassroots level, and by equipping ethnic minority voluntary organisations with skills and knowledge to provide appropriate direct support services to the ethnic minority communities they serve.

Through local talks and training seminars, EMMWP will help increase the capacity of ethnic minority voluntary organisations in providing direct support services to ethnic minority communities and increase awareness of HMRC products in ethnic minority communities, which in turn will increase take-up of Tax Credits and Child Trust Fund from ethnic minority individuals.

About training seminars

The Council for Ethnic Minority Voluntary Sector Organisations Scotland (CEMVO Scotland) invites you to the forthcoming regional training seminars on Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) products and services delivered by our Ethnic Minority Money Wise Programme (EMMWP).

The training seminar is especially beneficial for staff and volunteers of ethnic minority voluntary organisations and community groups. It will provide a unique opportunity for you to enhance and update your knowledge on HMRC products and build capacity to establish and deliver effective direct support services to your client groups. The seminar will cover:

• Overview of the full range of HMRC products
• Child Tax Credits
• Working Tax Credits
• Child Trust Fund
• Setting up your own direct support services for your clients and service users
• Assessing your clients’ HMRC needs
• Providing effective support to your clients in relation to their HMRC needs

As part of the EMMWP, all organisations and groups attending the training seminar will receive follow-up support (advice and guidance) after the seminar to help set up your own direct support services.
