Bradford residents who took part in workshops aimed at improving the financial health and well-being of families have been presented with certificates.

West Yorkshire Trading Standards held a four-week Smart Life programme at the Footprint Family Centre in Buttershaw.

The sessions were aimed at providing people with knowledge of budgeting, banking, money management, consumer law and energy deals.

The programme also highlighted the dangers of dealing with illegal money lenders and identifying common scams and frauds.

Councillor Val Slater, chairman of the West Yorkshire Trading Standards committee, said: “These interactive workshops are extremely beneficial to our local community, and will help to create a stronger and safer community now and for the future.”
