What if saving could be as easy as paying your bills? In this episode, Caroline Domanski MBE from No1 CopperPot Credit Union explains how payroll–linked saving works, why it’s helping thousands of people build a financial buffer, and what makes it so powerful – especially for those who never thought they could save.

We hear real stories from members whose lives have been changed by saving just a few pounds a month.

Can £2,000 in savings really change your life?

Sara Davies from the University of Bristol joins us to discuss two pieces of research commissioned by UK Savings Week: how saving affects wellbeing, and the amounts that can truly protect us from problem debt.

We’ll discuss how small, regular savings improve our mental health, what level of savings really protects us from financial shocks, and why it’s the habit – not just the amount – that makes the difference.

Why do so many people feel saving isn’t for them?

Vicky Wales, Chief Savings Officer at Principality Building Society, joins us to discuss her insight into the emotions and barriers that stop people from saving.

We explore why some people choose not to save even if they could, how perceptions and life circumstances shape saving behaviour, and what financial providers can do to make saving feel more relevant, rewarding, and realistic.
