The 2022 UK Financial Planning Week (3-9 October) comes as the cost of living is soaring, inflation and interest rates are rising, and as a new Prime Minister takes up residence in Downing Street. 

This year the week-long event is about busting myths around financial planning and encouraging conversation around finances. The aim is to empower consumers throughout the UK by raising awareness of the support available from financial planning, this includes help with organising finances and guidance in planning how to reach life goals and dreams. 

The annual campaign, organised by the not-for profit professional body the CISI, is a nationwide initiative aiming to help consumers build financial confidence, combat anxiety and stress about money and deal with life’s challenges around day-to-day financial decisions.
