Hoops 4 Wealth

Building financial capability and resilience for people on low-incomes in the Northern Territory

BSL collaborated with  Hoops 4 Health  (H4H), a First Nations-led organisation based in the Northern Territory, as part of an action research project: Building financial capability and resilience for low-income people in the Northern Territory. Funded by the Department of Social Services (DSS), the project aimed to enhance the financial capability and resilience of people on low incomes living in the Northern Territory.

Following extensive scoping and learning, we partnered with H4H to further develop the  Hoops 4 Wealth  (H4W) program. H4W is a healing-centred and trauma-informed financial capability program that brings together First Nations practice, wisdom and neuroscience to support wellbeing, re-empowerment and resilience.

BSL and H4H co-designed the evaluation approach to support the development of the H4W program. The evaluation is linked below.
