Just Credit Union are supporting UK Savings Week, an annual initiative aimed at encouraging people to take control of their finances and think about saving.
Whether it is saving for a rainy day, a specific goal or a treat, the week reminds people of the importance of setting aside money regularly. Research shows a quarter of people have less than £100 in savings and JCU know how difficult it is to save, especially in the current economic climate, so we be sharing resources, tools and hints and tips to help individuals improve their saving habits and make great financial decisions.
UK Savings Week is a great time to raise awareness about the benefits of saving, to offer some practical advice on how to start or boost savings, and hopefully inspire conversations about financial well-being.
This year the week will take place from September 9-16 with various activities, events, and campaigns running to promote the importance of saving and provide practical tips on how to save more effectively. The event is designed to help people of all ages and financial backgrounds understand the value of saving, whether it’s creating an emergency fund, saving for future goals or for a special event or treat.
The great thing about saving with Just Credit Union is not only is it a secure savings account with instant access, it is also a co-operative owned by its members so you effectively become a part owner of your credit union. Members also have the satisfaction that the savings stay in the area and are used to help other people – not corporate profits.â€Â
