Talk Money Week 2025 — Real Talk, Real Support, Real Community

At Via Wings, we see every day how money worries don’t just affect today — they can impact future generations too. That’s why our work focuses on wraparound care and breaking the cycle of intergenerational poverty, not just short-term fixes.

We believe that talking about money, stress, debt and everyday struggles is a powerful first step — and no one should ever feel they have to face it alone.

Every Monday from 9.30am–12.30pm, Community Advice ABC host a free, confidential Advice Hub right here at Via Wings.

If you need help with:

- Debt or budgeting
- Benefits and entitlements
- Employment or consumer issues
- Crisis Support

…you can simply drop in. No appointment needed. They work alongside our team to support the whole person — and their family.

This Talk Money Week, let’s keep the conversation open — about the cost of living, financial stress, and how community support can change lives. Because every honest conversation brings us closer to hope, dignity and change.

What helps you cope when the cost of living feels overwhelming?

React with:
= Smart budgeting or planning ahead
= Support from friends, family, or community

We’re here. We care. And together, we can lift each other up. 💙🦅

As a trusted local charity and community hub, Via Wings feels it’s important to be part of an upcoming community event taking place on Friday 14th November in Dromore — the ‘Light for Hope’ evening, organised by the fantastic Breaker Breaker charity.

It promises to be a really special night for our town — bringing together charities, community groups, and sports clubs to celebrate the compassion and strength that make Dromore shine.
Because of this, we feel it’s important for Via Wings to be there — to show our support, connect with others, and raise awareness of the vital work we do in our community.

As a result, our ‘Bingo, Boogie & Beats: Ladies’ Night’, which was planned for the same evening, will now be rescheduled to the New Year, with a new date to be confirmed for February 2026 – and we promise it’ll be worth the wait!

We are so sorry for any disappointment or inconvenience this may cause, and truly appreciate your understanding and continued support.

In the meantime, ‘Light for Hope’ will take place in Dromore from 6pm–8.30pm on Friday 14th November. There’ll be music, refreshments, and family fun, ending with a moving Show of Strength at 8.30pm, when everyone will raise a light together as a symbol of unity and hope.

Thank you, as always, for standing with us and being part of our amazing community.
