The Money & Pension Service (MaPS) describes financial wellbeing as feeling secure and in control. Being able to make the most of your money day to day, dealing with the unexpected and being on track for a healthy financial future. In short: financially resilient, confident and empowered.
However, we recognise that life events and circumstances can often have a dramatic impact on personal finances, and it is important to support individuals through difficult periods.
Anyone who requires additional support or information can contact some of the specialist services here.
