It's time to
The campaign
There's no denying that the rising cost of living and the cost of energy bills means many people simply don't have enough money to make ends meet.
But while bills rocket and the media churns out stories of yet more price rises, we want to cut through the noise to inspire people about actions they can take now that could improve their finances.
Until now, the focus has been largely on energy bills and how people can reduce these, but we know that people on the lowest income will need to do more to keep their heads above water this Winter. On the 19th October 2022, as the latest inflation figures are published, we are saying, "It's time to #ThinkBiggerThanBills"
