MoneySuperMarket’s latest Household Money Index (HMI) shows long awaited signs of optimism for UK finances. Every quarter, MoneySuperMarket's HMI delves into the costs of 31 household bills and everyday expenses. 🌟 There's some good news - in the first three months of 2024 people across the UK saved an average of £62.20 each per month on their bills and expenses. That's compared to how much they were spending at the end of 2023. 🚗 This edition of the HMI also lifts the bonnet on the the costs of being a young driver in the UK. 😲 The research reveals that the price of learning to drive has surged 135% above inflation over the past 35 years. 💰Today a young driver faces an average total cost of £7,600 to pass their test and drive for 12 months 🔍 Curious about the nitty-gritty? Dive into the report to explore how the cost breaks down around the UK, how young people are turning to their parents to help get on the road, and ways to save 👉 https://lnkd.in/eUVxipCm #HouseholdMoneyIndex #UKFinances #YoungDrivers

This Debt Awareness Week StepChange Debt Charity is focussing on the barriers to getting debt advice. What better time to share some of the stories from the MoneySuperMarket Money Talks campaign. Launched this year in partnership with Campaign Against Living Miserably, this campaign is designed to break the taboo that stops people talking about money worries so they can get help and support sooner.    Here's Milena Sanchez's story - Sunday Times best selling author and founder of the receipts podcast. To help people get support before they reach crisis point, we’ve created The Money Talks hub with first-hand money experiences, expert guides, and tips on having conversations about money. https://lnkd.in/db_uwSii #DebtAwarenessWeek 

Last week we welcomed non-profit Luminary Bakery into our London offices to host an 'eat and greet', combining the opportunity to try their delicious cakes with hearing more about this incredible organisation. Colleagues had the opportunity to hear from enormously passionate team members Chiarra Facco and Leonie Burns, who explained how the charity supports women who experience social and economic disadvantages. Find out more here - https://lnkd.in/efm3GsPV We also had the pleasure of LVL London Ltd founders Lori Powell and Louise Powell joining us to run two sessions exploring inclusion in the workplace and gender equality. The opportunity to hear their experiences and guidance, alongside having time to network with colleagues across our own organisation with their support was invaluable. #HelpingHouseholdsSave #iwd2024

Moneysupermarket Group Chief People Officer, Lisa Townsend joined this morning's FTSE Women Leaders Review event to celebrate the release of their latest report. We're proud to again be ranked number one in the Tech sector for women in leadership positions and to feature in the Top 10 for FTSE 250 Women Leaders for the 5th year in a row - meaning we're already exceeding the targets set by the review.   We asked Lisa to share tips for accelerating women's representation in leadership - "Put diversity at the heart of your culture, such as ensuring family and wellbeing policies and development opportunities are impactful and embraced. Secondly, use data and reporting. As a company we love data and use it in everything we do. It means we know what we need to do, hold ourselves to account and measure our progress."   We'll keep strengthening our commitment to gender representation so more women can achieve their potential, as well as encouraging more young women and girls to embrace a career in technology. #FTSEwomen #STEM https://lnkd.in/dsa5G-D
