Talk Money Week

Talk Money Week is an annual campaign, run by The Money and Pensions Service, to get the nation talking about money. This year the theme was ‘money secrets’, focusing on what money issues people are afraid to discuss.

This can be very common when managing increased winter finances, and also wanting to join the festivities and treat loved ones over Christmas.
