Financial wellness resources
Information and support to help maximise your income
Financial wellness just means having a good relationship with your money. The people at the Money & Pensions Service (MaPS) say it’s about feeling secure and in control; making the most of your money from day-to-day; having resources available to deal with the unexpected; and being on track for a healthy financial future.
However, it can feel really hard to take positive steps to maximise income while the cost of living impact is felt so strongly. But even taking just one step will make a difference to your financial wellness.
So, we’ve brought together simple actions and expert resources to help improve our relationship with money from which everyone can benefit. Simply select the link to the resources that you need from the options below.
We know everyone’s situation is different. If you can’t find what you need here, or just want to start a conversation about how we can help, please get in touch with our friendly team. E-mail support@theprintingcharity.org.uk or call us on 01293 542 820.
