📞Landlines are going digital by the end of 2025
If you use a telecare device (like a fall alarm or pendant), contact your phone provider now to make sure you're protected. Digital lines won’t work in a power cut

💼 Your employer has to offer a workplace pension scheme by law.
They have to automatically enrol anyone who’s eligible - this is called automatic enrolment.
We can help you understand ⤵️

Are you school uniform shopping? Here are some great tips to save some of your pennies and pounds!
29 Jul 2025
School uniform savings tip!
Check outlet stores for up to 50% off; Clarks and M&S prices tend to be more appealing than their high street counterparts!
Yet if you don't have one nearby (check via link), transport costs may mean it's not-so-MoneySaving, so weigh it up first.

Some really interesting bits of information here! Click through for more.
Our latest data shows that household #FoodWaste decreased by 9% between 2021 to 2022. This reduction was influenced by two main factors: Covid-19 restrictions lifting meaning less food was eaten at home in 2022, and the 17% rise in food prices during 2022 and into 2023.
But, despite this reduction in food waste, UK shoppers are still spending £17 billion on food that is thrown away. That’s an average of £1,000 a year for a household of four people.
We’ve found nearly 40% of household food waste happens because food wasn’t used in time. By helping people to buy an appropriate amount of food and store it optimally sets people up for success.
We promote key actions among brands and retailers to slash food waste including selling loose fresh produce, ensuring availability and appropriate pricing of smaller packs, and changing product labelling.
