This unique and exciting collaboration between a NHS Trust and community bank (or credit union) is designed to support NHS staff at a time when household budgets have become more squeezed than ever.

This post has been created in partnership with the UHSussex Health and Wellbeing Team and is being funded by the Trust’s Charity – My University Hospitals Sussex and WCB.

Tracy Cox-Horton, the new Financial Wellbeing Support Officer based at the Trust, said:

“I am very excited to be working with Wave Community Bank and UHSussex. I truly believe that by offering my services to support NHS staff with their finances, we can really make a positive difference to wellbeing and morale.”

Wave Community Bank has offered the Chorus Workplace Savings Scheme to UHSussex staff for many years, providing the opportunity to save and repay loans straight from their wages, helping them to manage their money and improve their financial resilience.
