SAFE Spend

Our SAFE Spend campaign aims to provide you with the tools to recognise and avoid scams, budget your finances to make your money go further and recognise financially risky behaviours, such as gambling. From fraud escape rooms to budgeting workshops, we'll be providing support and resources to help you spend safely.

We want to talk about all thing’s money. Talking about finances can feel tacky or uncomfortable but it’s so important to have open conversations and know where to go for support, if you need it. This could help you to avoid financially risky behaviours, which can lead to money stress and debt. The financially risky behaviours that we’d like to highlight include gambling, excessive spending and scams. With a focus on financial well-being, this initiative is here to help you make informed decisions, build budgeting skills, and safeguard your finances. Whether it’s navigating online purchases or understanding the impacts of gambling, Safe Spend offers resources, and guidance to empower you to take control of your financial futures.
