Thank you to Genistar

Since 2024, when we first delivered a bespoke Money Course for Genistar’s head office employees, we have built a wonderful relationship with the team there, including with founder and CEO Jeff Lestz, who has been very generous in his support for our work. We recently asked Jeff what he values about Crosslight, and he told us:

“At Genistar, our mission is ‘Financial Freedom for All’, and supporting Crosslight is a natural extension of that commitment. We share a belief that everyone deserves the knowledge, confidence and support to build a better financial future.

“What I particularly value about Crosslight is the dignity and compassion they bring to people facing financial difficulties. They offer practical help without judgement, alongside education that helps people regain control of their money.

“The synergy is clear: Genistar helps families understand their finances and plan ahead, while Crosslight brings specialist support to those struggling with debt and money worries. Both organisations recognise that financial education can change lives. We’re proud to support work that turns financial anxiety into confidence, hope and a way forward.” — Jeff Lestz, Founder and CEO, Genistar

Lorelei, our Financial Capability Lead, has worked closely with the Genistar team: “It's been very rewarding to work with the Genistar team over the last couple of years.  From running a Money Course for their staff team, to holding a workshop at their annual convention, and providing Financial First Aid training for Genistar reps, it's been great to support a wide range of people with education and skills to further the work that they do.  
We're also really grateful for Jeff and Margo’s generous donation to our work, which enables us to continue providing our free money skills courses, workshops and one-to-one support for our clients.  
Thank you to Genistar and all of our supporters and funders who enable us to continue delivering this important work.”

Thank you to Jeff and the team at Genistar for their support for Crosslight Advice and our financial capability work.
