TAL\u2019s Niall McConville<\/strong> is advocating the importance of pro-bono work done by advisers and is encouraging more advisers to get involved.<\/p>\n

McConville, who is TAL\u2019s General Manager of Retail Distribution and a Board Director of the Pro Bono Financial Advice Network says that: \u201cTo make a gift of your personal expertise is immensely empowering.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a statement he explains that that the Pro Bono Financial Advice Network (PFAN) was formed to help connect advisers willing to provide pro-bono financial advice to those experiencing financial hardship triggered by a personal health crisis.<\/p>\n

McConville says the organisation is an industry wide collaboration which works with local communities and associations to offer financial support to those who need it most. It has a strong partnership with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Limited, supporting people living with MS and their families with financial guidance as they work through their diagnosis and subsequent health journey.<\/p>\n

He says that the personal and professional benefits of providing pro bono financial advice are endless, \u201c\u2026and, for me personally, I feel grateful to have been involved with PFAN over the past few years and now as a Director…<\/p>\n

… It\u2019s incredibly rewarding to see more than 150 advisers put their hand up to volunteer …<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s incredibly rewarding to see over 150 advisers put their hand up to volunteer and provide their services to help those less fortunate in times of need.\u201d<\/p>\n

He says that if every adviser in Australia, who has the capacity or wants to do more pro bono work, saw one client a year with PFAN, that would make a huge difference and he’s encouraging advisers to get involved.<\/p>\n

“As an advice community, I believe we can do more to give back where we can and to ensure more Australians are getting tailored financial support that is appropriate to their circumstances.”<\/p>\n

He adds that PFAN support also goes beyond providing people with a no-cost service to plan ahead; but that the true value lies in helping disadvantaged members of the community access financial advice in general.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot only does participating in the PFAN program leave advisers feeling a sense of fulfilment through positively impacting the lives of people living with MS and their families, it also reinforces the value that advisers deliver to the community.”<\/p>\n

With more advisers supporting PFAN, local awareness and appreciation for the value of the guidance that advisers provide rises too,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n
