Portia Grant is the founder and managing director of Portia’s Partnership Savings Club , a UK-based first commercial Partner (Pardna) firm, dedicated to assisting low-income individuals and families in developing smart savings plans. With a passion for assisting low income and struggling families, Portia, originally from Jamaica, has remained dedicated to serving those less fortunate for much of her life. In 2005, she started PPSP after meeting and bringing together five families in need of financial management advice. Since then, PPSP has grown to more than 500 members who are all experiencing first-hand the expertise and practical advice Portia has integrated into her savings plans, or what she has since dubbed the “Pardna Method.”
