Talk Money Week 2025 | 3–7 November
Theme: Start the Conversation
This week is Talk Money Week, a UK-wide campaign that encourages everyone to open up about money — from everyday budgeting to big financial decisions. This year’s theme, “Start the Conversation,” highlights how a simple chat about finances can help build confidence, reduce stress, and lead to better money habits.
We know that talking about money at work can make a big difference. Financial wellbeing is an important part of overall wellbeing — and workplaces play a key role in helping people feel more secure and supported.
That’s why we’re proud to support Wave Community Bank’s Talk Money Week webinar series, run in partnership with the Illegal Money Lending Team (IMLT).
Could You Spot a Loan Shark?
Loan sharks often appear helpful at first — but their illegal lending practices can lead to debt, stress, and even intimidation. This free webinar will explore:
-
What illegal money lending looks like in practice
-
Warning signs that someone may be affected
-
The impact on individuals, families, and workplaces
-
How employers can support staff and signpost help
-
How saving through your workplace savings scheme can reduce reliance on risky lenders
