Helping your people find their way forward

We offer guidance direct to people through our digital channels, printed guides and consumer helplines. 

We’ve created actionable content packages, including online guides, tools, videos, social media posts and printed assets for you to use in your channels to raise awareness of MoneyHelper's services. 

You can be sure any content you share from us will enable the people you support to get the right help when they need it.

Topic areas covered include:

  • A quick, easy-to-use bill prioritiser that sorts out the bills and payments to deal with first and explains how to avoid missing payments.
  • Bite-size guidance to help squeezed incomes go further, including how to track your spending, cut back on costs and what extra support is available.
  • Coping with job loss or redundancy, knowing legal rights, how to protect finances and move forward.
  • Tailored money guidance for the self-employed, including topping up income and managing irregular earnings.

Pension Wise

Pension Wise is a service from MoneyHelper, offering free, impartial guidance to over 50s. We’ll explain the options about taking money from your pension pots to help you make decisions about your future finances.

At a Pension Wise appointment our pensions specialists will explain how each option works and the other things you need to think about. They’ll also explain how each option is taxed and provide information about how to look out for scams.

You can have an appointment if you’re aged 50 or over and have a UK-based defined contribution pension pot (this could be a personal or workplace pension).

It doesn’t matter how small or large the pension pot is.
