Free money matters online events
Updated: 28 Jan 2025
We're mindful that the day to day cost of living is tough for many, and real value for money can be difficult to come by. Check out our latest series of free online events that take a look at money and explore ways to look after it.
Five free online events
Our Branches throughout the UK will always aim to keep the cost of their events to a minimum, and every Oddfellows online event is free and open to all, whether you’re a member or not.
Over the next few months, we’ve arranged five events which will arm you with some ideas to get your money to go further in 2025, as well as ways to look after it.
All our online events are hosted on Zoom. For more information about any of these events or how to join the Zoom meeting, email events@oddfellows.co.uk.
Eating healthy on a budget, Tuesday 21 January at 7pm
Many of us start the year with the best intentions of a better diet and getting in shape, but it’s not always as simple as that. ‘Super foods’ and healthy alternatives can sometimes be a little more expensive, so we’ve invited a Nutritional Therapist, Valentina Cartago, to help guide us through healthy eating on a budget.
Valentina will give tips on how to shop, cook and organise our kitchens to help save money without compromising on taste and nutritional content.

It’s never too soon to start planning, and having a will is the only way to make sure your money, property, possessions and investments go to the people and causes you care about.
JMW will help us to understand wills, estate planning, Lasting Power of Attorney and inheritance tax mitigation.
