The week hopes to encourage people to talk about their finances
A week focused on helping people in Hull talking about their finances and seek any needed support will take place next month. Talk Money Week 2025 will take place between Monday, November 3 and Friday, November, 7.
It is set to include a free event in Princes Quay on Saturday, November 8. This will provide an opportunity for people to get advice and information from a range of experts in a friendly, informal setting.
Information will also be available to be accessed away from the event. Throughout the week, Hull City Council is set to share a wide range of advice, support information and links from partners in the finance sector on social channels, and via its digital newsletter.
Cllr Mike Ross, leader of Hull City Council, said: “Talking about money isn’t always easy, but sometimes it absolutely the right thing to do when you need to get the help that is out there. This campaign is about helping people feel more confident, supported and highlighting where they can access help.
“Our city centre event is a chance for residents to speak directly to local experts in a friendly, informal setting. Whether it’s just a quick question or you need help finding the right support, this is a valuable opportunity to get free, honest advice from people who are here to help.
“It’s an event for anyone who would like advice about money, whether that’s general budgeting help, or advice on specific issues like problems with gambling, dealing with loan sharks, and how to protect from scams. It’s a great starting point for taking the first step to tackling a problem, or to just understanding and managing money better”.
Organisations attending the event in Princes Quay will include GamCare, Stop Loan Sharks, Age UK, Barclays, Mind, Warm Homes, Money Helper, Army Recruitment, Utility Warehouse, Sight Support, Veterans Outreach, MOD Recruitment, Police Fraud and Scams, Fire Services, James Legal, Just Now Financial – Insurance Specialist, Citizen’s Advice, HCAL, Active Humber and Healthy start.

A similar event was organised last week by the MP for Hull North and Cottingham, Dame Diana Johnson. The MP invited a range of organisations, many of whom will also be present at the Princes Quay event, to provide cost-of-living advice and support to people in the Orchard Park area.
