Our ethos

Invest in your future

Most people will cover the cost of the WhenI’m course by recovering lost pensions, reducing charges, understanding tax or getting their investments in better shape. 

Get on the same page

Whether it’s your partner, or your wider family, we all need to be on the same page when it comes to sorting out our financial futures. We tend to save for retirement individually through work, but our income and expenses in retirement are shared between partners.

All in it together

Support each other and have some fun along the way. Take the pain out of the admin by tackling it together.

Real people

Face-to-face connection with a friendly local group going through the same life stage. No hiding behind screens. Because life's too short to do it all on your own.

Real help

Practical support you can use right now. Not vague advice or links to out-of-date websites. We give you real help to get things sorted.

No judgement

 If tackling your pensions and financial planning has been on your to do list for too long, you’re not alone. Together we can make the most of what we’ve got and plan for what's ahead. 

No jargon

No complicated language or sales — just practical, understandable financial education, in plain English.

Isn't this all a bit personal?

No need to worry. Just as in antenatal classes you don't have to tell your classmates your medical details, there's no need to disclose the details or amounts of your own finances in the classes.

The rules around pensions are the same whether you have £10,000 or £1 million, so we can have practical, in-depth discussions using hypothetical examples without anyone needing to share their personal financial situation.

What you are happy to share is totally up to you!
