Talk Money Week (Monday 6 - Friday 10 November) encourages everyone to have conversations about money. This is your chance to open up, which can be difficult as a student, especially if you are managing your finances for the first time.
This year we are encouraging our students to do ‘One Thing’ that could help improve their financial wellbeing. Why not understand what support is availablec and to learn how to boss your finances.

Why should you talk about your money?
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
During the week we will be sharing your ‘One Thing’ and student blogs on finance issues which have impacted them and what support they received to help them overcome it.
