Even with an increase in cost of living-related news, we know it can be hard to talk about money. Every year we host Talk Money Week to encourage people to open up about their finances. Discover how to get involved in Talk Money Week, regardless of the sector or size of your organisation, and find guides on how to Talk Money with your friends, family or children.

 

What is Talk Money Week?

The week is an opportunity for everyone to get involved with events and activities across the UK which help people have more open conversations about their money – from pocket money to pensions – and continue these conversations year-round.

This year’s Talk Money Week will focus on the theme of ‘credit’ – to help demystify some of the jargon, build people’s understanding of credit products, and what their options are, including other forms of support that might be suitable.

However, we encourage you to use the week as an opportunity to talk about any aspect of money.

Why Talk Money

As we recover from the Covid-19 pandemic and with current cost-of-living pressures, it’s more important than ever that we get support for money worries.

Research shows that people who talk about money:

• make better and less risky financial decisions
• have stronger personal relationships
• help their children form good lifetime money habits
• feel less stressed or anxious and more in control.

Building money conversations into our everyday lives also helps us build financial confidence and resilience to face whatever the future throws at us.
