Talk Money Week 2024

Managing Your Money / Cost of Living Help

Even with an increase in cost of living-related news, we know it can be hard to talk about money. Every year the Money & Pensions Service host Talk Money Week to encourage people to open up about their finances.

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.

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

Why Talk Money?

With the 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.

Do One Thing

This year, we’re asking stakeholders, partners, organisations and businesses all over the UK to encourage their own audiences to Do One Thing that could help improve their financial wellbeing – and to make a noise about it, to inspire others to do the same.

It doesn’t have to be huge. In fact, it could be as simple as asking them to check their pension statement, talk to a child about money or use one of the free tools or calculators on the MoneyHelper website.

If you want to talk about financial education – great. Pensions more your thing? Go ahead. All that matters is that we get people talking about money, together.

Where to Talk Money

Use Talk Money Week to kickstart a conversation in any walk of life, including:

  • in your workplace
  • with your customers across a range of sectors
  • in education
  • at home with friends and family.
