Whilst we are all focusing first and foremost on our health and wellbeing during the Coronavirus pandemic, some families may be worrying also about the potential financial effects of the lock-down on their wider family finances. Mercer, a leading consultancy firm, has provided us with access to free guides, mini-videos and other materials they have produced to help you and your families manage your finances during this period. There is a check-list as well as a number of hints and tips and useful practical steps we can all take. We would encourage you to visit the website from where you can view or download the available materials. www.uk.mercer.com/our-thinking/dealing-with-the-impact-covid19/financial-wellbeing-employee-toolkit.html The site will have new materials added over the coming weeks as new developments occur, so you may want to bookmark and check back to the site from time to time. Please also feel free to also share the link to the site with other family members and your friends, if you think the content would be useful for them as well at this time. We hope you find this useful to help in another way through these challenges we are all facing at the current time. Stay safe, and we would encourage you to take some of the time we are all finding on our hands right now, so make some time for your own Financial Wellbeing. Try and get on top of some of those things we all put off from time to time – and hopefully these resources can help you do that a little more effectively, even if in a small way and help manage your money a little more, over the immediate future.
