MSE in the community?

Khaderbhai

Hi

Not sure which forum this should go to but please feel free to move if you think its better placed elsewhere.

MSE and its online forums is a great resource that I have used to benefit from personally a lot. It has got me thinking though about how many people in my local community are not aware or are not online and do not benefit from it. 

My question/enquiry is therefore, could a ‘club’ or ‘1 hour window’ be set up as a volunteer service in my local community to help with potentially pointing people to MSE tips and advice? My main worry is around financial advice, I am of course not qualified but what is the law if I wanted to show a local resident for example how to switch to a cheaper phone or broadband package? 

Thank you.
