London is drier than Istanbul\, and the South East of England has less water available per person than some African countries. \nSurprised? Climate change\, population increases and changes in lifestyle have led to increasing pressure being put on our water supplies. The expected increase in world population up to 10 billion people will decline the available freshwater resources by half in 2050. \nAs a result\, it is more important than ever that we take care with how we use water. Taking positive action now can help to ensure that there is enough water to go around\, for us\, for businesses and for the environment. \nSave Money \nSaving water saves money. Installing simple devices such as water-efficient taps and showers will save both water and energy by minimising the use of heated water. An efficient showerhead could reduce household bills by up to £120 per year. Leaky loos waste around 400 litres of clean water a day – the equivalent of having an extra two people living in your house! \nClimate Change \nOur use of water and energy are closely linked. Operational emissions from the water industry account for nearly 1% of the UK’s total. And a major source of emissions is from using hot water within homes. Reducing the length of your shower or the amount of hot water you use for cleaning dishes therefore has a significant impact on your personal carbon footprint. Using water wisely also helps us adapt to climate change – it means the water we do have goes further. \nThe Environment \nUsing water efficiently means that we can minimise the amount of additional water resources being taken out of our rivers and aquifers\, especially as demand is rising. \nResilient Water Supplies \nAs water resources become scarcer\, building new infrastructure like reservoirs and desalination plants\, or finding new sources of supply\, becomes increasingly expensive. If we save water that is otherwise wasted\, we can reduce pressure on existing infrastructure and offset the need for more. Using water wisely also makes our supply more resilient against impacts from climate change\, such as droughts. \nReady to start saving?

Creating a regular habit is often the best way to start\, and whilst the amount saved might flex depending on other expenses in the month and could be small: once the habit is formed a savings pot can start to build. \nFor those who are already savers\, UK Savings Week aims to help people think about making most the of their savings\, by understanding different types of savings account and finding the best rate of interest. \nWhen is UK Savings Week\n UK Savings Week 2023 will run from the 18 – 24 September \nHow to get involved in UK Savings Week\nTo get more information on this year’s UK Savings Week\, please fill in the contact form and we’ll get in touch to share how you could get involved and to answer any questions you may have.

London is drier than Istanbul\, and the South East of England has less water available per person than some African countries. \nSurprised? Climate change\, population increases and changes in lifestyle have led to increasing pressure being put on our water supplies. The expected increase in world population up to 10 billion people will decline the available freshwater resources by half in 2050. \nAs a result\, it is more important than ever that we take care with how we use water. Taking positive action now can help to ensure that there is enough water to go around\, for us\, for businesses and for the environment. \nSave Money \nSaving water saves money. Installing simple devices such as water-efficient taps and showers will save both water and energy by minimising the use of heated water. An efficient showerhead could reduce household bills by up to £120 per year. Leaky loos waste around 400 litres of clean water a day – the equivalent of having an extra two people living in your house! \nClimate Change \nOur use of water and energy are closely linked. Operational emissions from the water industry account for nearly 1% of the UK’s total. And a major source of emissions is from using hot water within homes. Reducing the length of your shower or the amount of hot water you use for cleaning dishes therefore has a significant impact on your personal carbon footprint. Using water wisely also helps us adapt to climate change – it means the water we do have goes further. \nThe Environment \nUsing water efficiently means that we can minimise the amount of additional water resources being taken out of our rivers and aquifers\, especially as demand is rising. \nResilient Water Supplies \nAs water resources become scarcer\, building new infrastructure like reservoirs and desalination plants\, or finding new sources of supply\, becomes increasingly expensive. If we save water that is otherwise wasted\, we can reduce pressure on existing infrastructure and offset the need for more. Using water wisely also makes our supply more resilient against impacts from climate change\, such as droughts. \nReady to start saving?

Our goal is to turn talking about money from one of the UK’s least favourite topics into something commonplace. \nWhy talk money?\nTalking openly about money is vitally important for our health\, wealth and relationships. The effect of Covid-19 has made it more important than ever to start conversations about money. \nResearch shows that people who talk about money: \n+ make better and less risky financial decisions\n+ have stronger personal relationships\n+ help their children form good lifetime money habits\n+ feel less stressed or anxious and more in control. \nBuilding money conversations into our everyday lives also helps us build financial confidence and resilience to face whatever the future throws at us. \nIf we’re not prepared\, we can struggle to cope when an income shock happens or a life event changes everything. \nTalk Money Week is a great opportunity to join\, start or lead the conversation. It’s for anyone who wants to manage money better\, or any organisation working to help people deal with money matters. Organisations can also use the week to learn more about financial wellbeing and what it might mean for them and their customers.

The initiative inspires organisations and their staff\, across all sectors and all sizes to promote awareness\, develop understanding and put in place practical solutions for greater accessibility. \nPurple Tuesday was founded by Mike Adams\, after he was inspired to do something after his dreadful customer experience while Christmas shopping with his non-disabled partner five years ago. In 23 of the 27 places visited\, Mike was either totally ignored or left uninvolved by staff that would speak only to his partner. Mike concluded that the issue was the employees’ fear of unintentionally offending by doing or saying the wrong thing\, rather than blatant prejudice. \nPurple Tuesday is his solution – for both the disabled customer\, and for organisations that want to improve their accessibility. \nWhen is Purple Tuesday?\nSince 2018 Purple Tuesday takes place annually on the first Tuesday of November. For 2022 this will fall on Tuesday 1st November. Celebratory events will be taking place around the globe in London\, Dubai\, Minneapolis and Malaysia. \nHow to get involved in Purple Tuesday\nParticipation is free\, the only requirement is a commitment to make at least one change to practice each year that will enhance the disabled customer experience. \nVisit purpletuesday.co to get involved today and join us in celebrating on Tuesday 1st November 2022!

This month is a celebration of all the amazing independent retailers out there who contribute so much to the economy and to their local communities. \nIndependent retailers are the backbone of the economy\, and they play a vital role in creating jobs and boosting growth. They also add to the richness and diversity of our communities\, and they help to create a unique sense of place. \nExample of Independent retailer grit and survival; \nWardbrothers Furniture was started in 1919 by 2 brothers in Doncaster\, United Kingdom with the aim of providing quality furniture and amazing customers service. Despite finding themselves in a catastrophic situation\, the first global pandemic – the Spanish flu influenza – they managed to not only survive\, but thrive. This is a testament to their determination and resilience\, and is a reminder that anything is possible if you set your mind to it. \nFast forward 100 years and the grandson of one founders finds himself in the exact same situation\, the world in the grip of a global pandemic\, which resulted in global lockdowns of not only homes but businesses and a catastrophic loss of revenue to indepdendant retailers \nHowever like his grandfather before him\, Tom the current CEO is of solid stock and didn’t give up. To survive another hundred years he decided to embrace technology and move the business online\, just like many other independent retailers were forced to do. Tom ensured the same quality of product and service was maintained. \nOnce the lockdown was lifted customers flooded back to the store because of Tom\, his amazing staff and the friendly family oriented atmosphere instore. Now the 100yr old and the 2017 Associated Independent Stores Retailer of the Year Award winning business has a very bright future with a local store and online presence. \nSurvival stories like these are why we celebrate all the amazing independent retailers out there. They are the lifeblood of our economy and our communities\, and they deserve our support!

London is drier than Istanbul\, and the South East of England has less water available per person than some African countries. \nSurprised? Climate change\, population increases and changes in lifestyle have led to increasing pressure being put on our water supplies. The expected increase in world population up to 10 billion people will decline the available freshwater resources by half in 2050. \nAs a result\, it is more important than ever that we take care with how we use water. Taking positive action now can help to ensure that there is enough water to go around\, for us\, for businesses and for the environment. \nSave Money \nSaving water saves money. Installing simple devices such as water-efficient taps and showers will save both water and energy by minimising the use of heated water. An efficient showerhead could reduce household bills by up to £120 per year. Leaky loos waste around 400 litres of clean water a day – the equivalent of having extra two people living in your house! \nClimate Change \nOur use of water and energy are closely linked. Operational emissions from the water industry account for nearly 1% of the UK’s total. And a major source of emissions is from using hot water within homes. Reducing the length of your shower or the amount of hot water you use for cleaning dishes therefore has a significant impact on your personal carbon footprint. Using water wisely also helps us adapt to climate change – it means the water we do have goes further. \nThe Environment \nUsing water efficiently means that we can minimise the amount of additional water resources being taken out of our rivers and aquifers\, especially as demand is rising. \nResilient Water Supplies \nAs water resources become scarcer\, building new infrastructure like reservoirs and desalination plants\, or finding new sources of supply\, becomes increasingly expensive. If we save water that is otherwise wasted\, we can reduce pressure on existing infrastructure and offset the need for more. Using water wisely also makes our supply more resilient against impacts from climate change\, such as droughts. \nReady to start saving?

Many current and former apprentices will go back to school to tell their story\, attracting the next generation of apprentices\, so they too can fire up their future career. \nThroughout the 14 years\, National Apprenticeship Week has brought together apprenticeship supporters from across the country\, with MPs\, ambassadors\, apprentices\, training providers and top employers involved in recognising the value and importance of apprenticeships. \nFor NAW2022 we want even more people to get behind the week\, to build on last year’s success\, which included: \nOver 1250 events taking place across England; \nNAW2021\, National Apprenticeship Week and #BlazeATrail all trending UK wide on Twitter over the course of the Week; \nOver 30\,000 unique visits to the NAW resource pages on GOV.UK; \nAnd a hugely successful #askanapprentice day with employers\, including TUI\, Bentley Careers\, Siemens UK\, AXA Insurance and Cisco all getting involved. \nAnne Milton\, Minister for Apprenticeships and Skills said: \n“I am thrilled that National Apprenticeship Week 2021 will take place during early February 2021. It’s a chance to celebrate apprentices and the brilliant work being done by schools\, the FE sector and employers across the country to promote the huge benefits of apprenticeships. \n“Apprenticeships offer people of all ages and backgrounds a high-quality route to skilled employment with the option to train at every level in a range of exciting professions like aerospace engineering\, data science\, teaching\, law\, nursing\, and fashion. \n“This year we had over 1250 events and 1900 articles and features in publications from the Financial Times to Cosmopolitan. I would encourage employers\, training providers\, schools\, apprentices and our ambassador networks to start considering how they will get involved in National Apprenticeship Week 2021. We want next year to be even bigger and better reaching even more people and employers so they understand the advantages apprenticeships bring”.

Our goal is to turn talking about money from one of the UK’s least favourite topics into something commonplace. \nWhy talk money?\nPeople in the UK don’t talk about their money enough. Despite the COVID-19 crisis affecting our finances\, 9 in 10 UK adults – that’s 47 million of us – don’t find it any easier to talk about money\, or don’t even discuss it at all. \nOn the road to recovery from the pandemic\, financial wellbeing\, alongside physical and mental wellbeing will be crucial. But there is still work to be done to break down the taboo of talking money. That is why\, each November we encourage the nation to come together for Talk Money Week\, to start money conversations in any walk of life. \nThe week is designed to increase people’s sense of financial wellbeing by encouraging them to open up about personal finance – from pocket money to pensions. It’s an opportunity for everyone to get involved with events and activities across the UK which help people have more open conversations about money. \nWhen is Talk Money Week?\nTalk Money Week 2021 takes place on 8-12 November. Everyone has money worries – and for many\, the challenges of the pandemic have brought these to the fore – but just as you can take action to improve your physical health\, you can also take some simple steps to feel more in control of your financial wellbeing too. \nResearch shows that people who talk about money: \n\nmake better and less risky financial decisions\nhave stronger personal relationships\nhelp their children form good money habits for life\nfeel less stressed or anxious and more in control\n\nBuilding money conversations into our everyday lives also helps us build financial confidence and resilience to face income shocks\, life events and whatever the future throws at us.  A financially healthy nation is good for individuals\, communities\, business\, and the economy – can you help us #TalkMoney this year?

We were looking to shake things up a little bit with a different format and date. As before\, there was an exciting range of activities to raise awareness about why we need to save water\, including daily challenges\, ideas and tips to help you do it. Search #watersavingweek on social media\, explore the Waterwise website to check out the daily themes and get involved!\nEach day of Water Saving Week focused on a specific area of water use or benefit of water efficiency. Water Saving Week Packs were available for each day and included challenges\, ideas and tips to help you save water in relation to that day’s theme. \nWhy save water? \nThe UK has less available water per person than most other European countries. London is drier than Istanbul\, and the South East of England has less water available per person than some African countries. \nSurprised? Climate change\, population increases and changes in lifestyle have led to increasing pressure being put on our water supplies. The expected increase in world population up to 10 billion people will decline the available freshwater resources by half in 2050. \nAs a result\, it is more important than ever that we take care with how we use water. Taking positive action now can help to ensure that there is enough water to go around\, for us\, for businesses and for the environment. \nSave Money \nSaving water saves money. Installing simple devices such as water-efficient taps and showers will save both water and energy by minimising the use of heated water. An efficient showerhead could reduce household bills by up to £120 per year. Leaky loos waste around 400 litres of clean water a day – the equivalent of having extra two people living in your house! \nClimate Change \nOur use of water and energy are closely linked. Operational emissions from the water industry account for nearly 1% of the UK’s total. And a major source of emissions is from using hot water within homes. Reducing the length of your shower or the amount of hot water you use for cleaning dishes therefore has a significant impact on your personal carbon footprint. Using water wisely also helps us adapt to climate change – it means the water we do have goes further. \nThe Environment \nUsing water efficiently means that we can minimise the amount of additional water resources being taken out of our rivers and aquifers\, especially as demand is rising. \nResilient Water Supplies \nAs water resources become scarcer\, building new infrastructure like reservoirs and desalination plants\, or finding new sources of supply\, becomes increasingly expensive. If we save water that is otherwise wasted\, we can reduce pressure on existing infrastructure and offset the need for more. Using water wisely also makes our supply more resilient against impacts from climate change\, such as droughts. \nReady to start saving?

Our goal is to turn talking about money from one of the UK’s least favourite topics into something commonplace. \nWhy talk money?\nTalking openly about money is vitally important for our health\, wealth and relationships. The effect of Covid-19 has made it more important than ever to start conversations about money. \nResearch shows that people who talk about money: \n+ make better and less risky financial decisions\n+ have stronger personal relationships\n+ help their children form good lifetime money habits\n+ feel less stressed or anxious and more in control. \nBuilding money conversations into our everyday lives also helps us build financial confidence and resilience to face whatever the future throws at us. \nIf we’re not prepared\, we can struggle to cope when an income shock happens or a life event changes everything. \nTalk Money Week is a great opportunity to join\, start or lead the conversation. It’s for anyone who wants to manage money better\, or any organisation working to help people deal with money matters. Organisations can also use the week to learn more about financial wellbeing and what it might mean for them and their customers.

We were looking to shake things up a little bit with a different format and date. As before\, there was an exciting range of activities to raise awareness about why we need to save water\, including daily challenges\, ideas and tips to help you do it. Search #watersavingweek on social media\, explore the Waterwise website to check out the daily themes and get involved!\nEach day of Water Saving Week focused on a specific area of water use or benefit of water efficiency. Water Saving Week Packs were available for each day and included challenges\, ideas and tips to help you save water in relation to that day’s theme.\n\nWhy save water?\nThe UK has less available water per person than most other European countries. London is drier than Istanbul\, and the South East of England has less water available per person than some African countries. \nSurprised? Climate change\, population increases and changes in lifestyle have led to increasing pressure being put on our water supplies. The expected increase in world population up to 10 billion people will decline the available freshwater resources by half in 2050. \nAs a result\, it is more important than ever that we take care with how we use water. Taking positive action now can help to ensure that there is enough water to go around\, for us\, for businesses and for the environment. \nSave Money\nSaving water saves money. Installing simple devices such as water-efficient taps and showers will save both water and energy by minimising the use of heated water. An efficient showerhead could reduce household bills by up to £120 per year. Leaky loos waste around 400 litres of clean water a day – the equivalent of having extra two people living in your house! \nClimate Change\nOur use of water and energy are closely linked. Operational emissions from the water industry account for nearly 1% of the UK’s total. And a major source of emissions is from using hot water within homes. Reducing the length of your shower or the amount of hot water you use for cleaning dishes therefore has a significant impact on your personal carbon footprint. Using water wisely also helps us adapt to climate change – it means the water we do have goes further. \nThe Environment\nUsing water efficiently means that we can minimise the amount of additional water resources being taken out of our rivers and aquifers\, especially as demand is rising. \nResilient Water Supplies\nAs water resources become scarcer\, building new infrastructure like reservoirs and desalination plants\, or finding new sources of supply\, becomes increasingly expensive. If we save water that is otherwise wasted\, we can reduce pressure on existing infrastructure and offset the need for more. Using water wisely also makes our supply more resilient against impacts from climate change\, such as droughts. \nReady to start saving?

Nevertheless gifts in Wills are still the foundation of many of Britain’s charities\, creating almost £2 billion each year\, the equivalent of 19 Comic Reliefs. Without this income\, many charities would simply not exist and others would have to cut crucial services.

Payroll can save employees money through salary sacrifice and other arrangements which improves employee motivation and morale.
