UK Savings Week 2025: Why Financial Stability Matters

UK Savings Week 2025 (22–28 September) is here - and at Boom Community Bank, we’re proud to be part of this national movement encouraging people across the UK to start, strengthen, and sustain their savings habits.

For many, saving can feel out of reach. But the truth is this: you don’t need to start big to make a big difference. Even small, regular amounts can transform your financial stability over time.

Why Saving Matters More Than Ever in 2025

Recent research shows that one in four UK adults has less than £100 in savings. That means millions of households are just one unexpected bill away from financial stress.

But UK Savings Week is about changing that story. By building awareness and offering practical steps, the campaign helps individuals and families take control of their financial future.

At Boom, we see firsthand how even modest savings can lead to:

• Greater peace of mind

• More flexibility when opportunities arise

• Protection from the stress of life’s surprises

Financial Stability: More Than Just a Cushion

Think of savings as more than a “rainy-day fund.” They are the foundation of financial resilience.

Here’s what that looks like in practice:

• Confidence – knowing you can handle unexpected costs

• Choice – being able to say yes to opportunities without fear

• Control – reducing reliance on high-cost credit or debt

Simple Ways to Start Saving Today

If you’ve ever thought, “I can’t save much, so why bother?”, you’re not alone. But here’s the secret: it’s not about how much you save, but how often.

Here are three practical tips:

1. Start Small: Even £5 a week builds up over time. The key is consistency.

2. Automate It: Set up a standing order into a savings account — treat it like a bill you pay yourself.

3. Round It Up: Save your spare change. Many apps and banks help you round purchases to the nearest pound and save the difference.

Remember: it’s better to save a little regularly than a lot once in a while.
