The library
Short pages for real life. Free to read, no sign-in. Each one is written and checked by our small team; the pages that touch on health wait for a clinician's sign-off, and each page says where it stands.
Money and rights
One folder, one check, one conversation: the paperwork, made calmer.
- One folder for the important papers
Half an hour to put the papers that matter into one place, so you can find them on the day you need them.
30 min
- A support check, once a year
An hour once a year to find out what help, allowances and discounts you or the person you care for may be entitled to.
30 min
- The 'who would decide' conversation
A gentle way to start talking with a parent or partner about who they would want to make decisions for them if they could not.
30 min
- A monthly money hour
One hour a month to open the post, look at the bills and see where things stand, without judging yourself.
60 min
- The pause before you pay
Scams work by hurrying you. One simple rule, hang up and call back on a number you know, protects you and the people you care for.
10 min
- A small cushion of savings
A small amount set aside automatically, however little, so the next broken appliance is a nuisance rather than a crisis.
15 min
- Starting a will
You do not need to finish it today. Half an hour writing down what you have, and who you would want to look after, is the first step.
30 min
- The call about a bill
Calling a supplier or lender about a bill you cannot pay: five minutes of preparation, a page of notes, and the words to start.
30 min
- A subscriptions sweep
Half an hour with your last two statements, finding the small regular payments you no longer use.
30 min
- A complaint that gets read
When something has gone wrong with a service, a short, clear written complaint is more likely to be taken seriously than an angry call.
30 min
- A money talk without blame
Half an hour with a partner or family member, talking about money with curiosity rather than accusation.
30 min
- Helping with someone else's money
When you start helping a parent or someone you care for with their money: the right permission, separate records, and their wishes first.
