As part of Talk Money Week (6-10 November), Lincolnshire Housing Partnership is encouraging everyone to take one action to improve their financial wellbeing and to tell others about it. The week is led by the Money and Pensions Service (MaPS) and supported by hundreds of organisations, with this year’s theme being “it’s time to talk specifics”.
Nicola Leach, Income Team Leader from Lincolnshire Housing Partnership commented: “Talking about money is the first step to taking control of your finances and improving your financial wellbeing. When you talk about money, you can start to understand your financial situation, identify areas where you can improve, and develop a plan to reach your financial goals. Talking about money can also help you to feel less alone and more empowered to make better financial decisions.”
As part of the week, Lincolnshire Housing Partnership will be running series of events across Lincolnshire for their customers to learn more about the simple things they can do to improve their financial wellbeing with help from the organisation’s Money Support Service.
Caroline Siarkiewicz, Chief Executive at the Money and Pensions Service, said: “Talk Money Week has grown every single year and we want to build on that success, so it’s time to talk specifics. This is why we’re asking and inspiring people to ‘do one thing’ and take another step towards improving their financial wellbeing, telling others about it as they go. Whether it’s something small, like starting a conversation, or something major, like making an informed long term decision, this is a chance for everyone to get involved and reap the benefits.”
The UK Strategy for Financial Wellbeing, launched by MaPS in 2020, includes ambitious ten-year goals to help everyone make the most of their money and pensions. During Talk Money Week, people are encouraged to take control of money, talk openly about it, and share the burden that worries can cause.

Lincolnshire Housing Partnership is asking people to ‘do one thing’ to improve their financial wellbeing as part of the week. This could be something major, like creating an in-depth budget or looking closely at a pension, or something minor like talking to a child about pocket money or exploring the MoneyHelper website.
