Why the Black Country?

We’re grateful to the Black Country Living Museum for allowing us to photograph original locks and keys from the region’s industrial past. Each key we feature symbolises a step toward unlocking financial confidence—rooted in our shared heritage and proudly connected to the Black Country’s enduring story of resilience and craftsmanship.

Our roots in the Black Country run deep. Just as locks and keys were once forged here to protect what mattered most, Black Country Money Matters CIC exists to safeguard the financial futures of local people. By delivering culturally relevant financial education, we work with and for our community—unlocking the confidence needed for individuals and families to thrive.

    Testimonials

    • "I had the pleasure of organising a Money Mindset workshop facilitated by Leah for the women we support at Mums In Need. She made the women attending feel at ease and able to share with the group. Leah asked what the most significant challenges around money were for those attending the workshop, and then tailored the session for them. Leah came across as naturally inspiring and motivating. I highly recommend Leah and look forward to working with her again."
