Join SHP and partners during Talk Money Walk
SHP is taking part in Talk Money Week 2021, an annual awareness campaign coordinated by the Money and Pensions Service (now called Money Helper) aimed at encouraging everyone to open up about their money and pensions.
Held from 8 to 12 November, Talk Money Week aims to reduce the stigma around money by encouraging conversations among families, friends, neighbours, customers, colleagues and communities. Talking openly about money can have a huge impact on tackling money worries, and is important for our overall health and relationships. The impact of COVID-19 has made it more important than ever to start conversations about money to look after our financial wellbeing.
Throughout the week there will be activities going on to get more people talking about personal finance issues and engaging with topics such as saving regularly, planning for retirement, dealing with debt, and teaching children and young people about managing money.
As part of the week, SHP and partners are running two drop-in sessions for people to pop in for free advice and information on anything from; tips for good money management to help with benefits or debt advice, loan sharks and scams, energy efficiency, to how you can save money for your future.
