Surviving the Cost of Living Crisis

Helping our members to save money and prioritise their outgoings.

We are aware of how much the Cost of Living is affecting our members so we have created this section so that our members can share their money saving tips for others. 

If you would like to submit your tips then please email us at info@wavecb.org.uk

Look out for our next Financial Wellbeing Webinar. A FREE and online session that provides insights on how you can save money and prioritise your outgoings so that you don’t have a negative impact on your credit score.
