The Financial Plan of Action

The Financial Plan of Action is a resource for clients, their families and whānau to document their goals, supported, where necessary, by a financial mentor.

It is a simple, paper-based document that is easy to update and keep front of mind. With the support of a financial mentor, the Financial Plan of Action helps people to:

  • share their aspirations, to understand what they need to achieve the change they want
  • build financial capability and resilience
  • identify their strengths and what has worked for them in the past
  • view challenges as opportunities, not obstacles

Who is it for?

The Financial Plan of Action is for BFC provider's clients and their families and whānau.

It is designed to be accessible and relevant for the diverse range of people in hardship that use BFC services. This includes Māori, Pacific, people with English as a second language or low-literacy and people with disabilities.
