National Student Money Week, 3 – 7 March 2025

We are pleased to announce details of National Student Money Week 2025.
Taking place from 3 to 7 March 2025, the theme of this year’s campaign will be ‘Survive and thrive: building financial resilience’.

Whether you need help with 'surviving’ by going back to the basics of budgeting and the battle between needs and wants or want advice on ‘thriving’ by being proactive and planning ahead, and thinking of the longer term, we hope that there will be something for everyone.
