From 3rd-7th November, we’ll be supporting Talk Money Week – a national campaign that inspires people to talk more openly about their finances.

Every day, we speak to people who are worried about paying bills or who would like support setting up repayment plans. No one should feel alone when it comes to money worries.

By supporting Talk Money Week, we want to help more people start the conversation earlier, so they can get the right help sooner.

Throughout the week, we’ll be sharing practical ideas and tips across our social media channels to help make money talk feel a little easier.

What is Talk Money Week?

Talk Money Week is an annual campaign run by the Money and Pensions Service (MaPS).

Each year has a theme, and for 2025 it’s ‘Start the conversation’. The goal is simple – to build confidence around talking about money, take away the stigma and make open financial conversations a normal part of everyday life.

How to get involved in Talk Money Week

Start a conversation. Your friends, family or colleagues might be feeling the same worries as you do and, by opening up, you can share tips and encouragement to manage money better together.

If you’re on social media, join the conversation using the hashtags #TalkMoney and #StartTheConversation.

You can also show someone BudgetSmart – our free online tool that helps you find savings, make the most of your money and boost your financial wellbeing.

If you’re worried about your safety or need to talk in confidence

We know that for some people – especially those experiencing domestic or economic abuse – talking about money can feel frightening or unsafe. Please know you’re not alone and support is here when you’re ready.  

If speaking on the phone doesn’t feel safe, you can reach out to us discreetly online in a way that works best for you. Our Specialist Advice Team are trained to help people who may be experiencing domestic or economic abuse. They’ll listen with compassion and help you explore your options safely and confidentially.

We also work closely with Refuge, one of our trusted partners, who provide specialist support for anyone affected by domestic abuse. You can contact Refuge at 0808 2000 247 or visit www.refuge.org.uk for confidential help and advice.
