UK Savings Week is back
21 - 27 Sept 2026
Driving awareness of the importance of saving, and helping to build financial resilience and confidence.
UK Savings Week is a national campaign that encourages people to build positive savings habits and strengthen their financial resilience.
Created by the Building Societies Association, the campaign highlights the benefits of saving and helps people take practical steps towards achieving their financial goals.
This year's theme, 'Save your way today. Thank yourself tomorrow', recognises that everyone saves differently and encourages younger generations to develop good savings habits.
Types of savings accounts
Knowing what type of savings accounts are available will help you know which one is right for you.
Helping the next generation build financial resilience
Many young working adults are balancing rising living costs, rent, student debt and saving for future goals. UK Savings Week encourages practical steps towards building greater financial resilience.
Whether you're just starting your own savings journey or encouraging other family members to build positive financial habits, there are many ways to make saving part of everyday life.
Why saving matters
Whether you're planning a special trip, building an emergency fund, saving for a first home, or simply looking for greater peace of mind, having savings can help you feel more confident about the future.
Life doesn't always go according to plan, but setting money aside regularly, even in small amounts, can help you build financial resilience and give you more control over your finances.
Want to save but don't know where to start?
You're not alone. Many people want to save more but aren't sure how to begin, especially when balancing everyday expenses and other financial commitments.
The good news is that saving doesn't have to mean putting away large amounts. Starting small and saving regularly can help build positive habits over time. UK Savings Week offers practical tips and guidance to help you take the first step and find an approach that works for you.
Make your savings work harder
Already have savings? That's a great start.
It's worth reviewing your savings from time to time to check they're still helping you achieve your goals. Whether you're saving for something specific or building up a financial safety net, taking an active interest in your savings could help you get more from your money.
Whether you're just getting started or looking to make more of the savings you already have, UK Savings Week provides tools, tips and support to help you save with confidence.
When you're saving, it often helps to set a goal and know how much you need to put away each month to reach your goal, or how long it might take you.

It's ok if you're not ready to save
With the current cost-of-living crisis, you, or your friends and family, might not be in a position to save right now.
We understand that there are times when we all need a little extra help and support for whatever reason, and sometimes we need to use our money in a different way from how we'd planned.
