“Being unable to pay one’s electricity and heating bills…Being unable to pay back loans contracted…Having to take a loan so your children can have Christmas…Not understanding what terms like interest rate mean…Not being able to stick to your budget…Being refused an affordable credit rating…Being refused access to a basic bank account.”

That is the reality of financial exclusion, the reality that we will discuss during our seminar on the 27th May 2010 from 9h30 to 17h00 at the premises of the Flanders-Europe Liaison Agency situated at Kortenberglaan 71, Brussels in the Schuman quarters.

Please find below the latest invitation to attend our event Balancing Act: Tackling Financial Exclusion through balanced policies and measures involving individuals, communities, and institutions. A full agenda is attached. We would be grateful if you could pass this invitation on to colleagues working on these topics or who may have an interest in attending. The event is free of charge but registration is requested before the 25/05.

Alongside dramatic performances, and presentations of best-practice, participants will be given an opportunity to discuss recommendations aimed at improving our service response to those who face financial exclusion.
