Check Your Financial Wellbeing

Use our simple ‘Take 5’ financial wellbeing check to understand your money situation and where you might need extra support. It’s a quick, easy way to assess things like budgeting, benefits, and debt, and find out what to do next.

  • Budget – Do you know how much money you have coming in and where it goes each month?

  • Debts – Are you managing repayments or starting to feel overwhelmed?

  • Entitlements – Are you receiving all the benefits or support you might be eligible for?

  • Support – Do you know where to turn if things feel too much?

  • Goals – What are you working towards, short-term or long-term?

Taking a few minutes to review these areas can help you feel more in control and highlight where extra help could be useful.
