@nestpension’s CEO, Ian Cornelius, brought #NestInsight2025 to a close, saying how important financial peace for all of mind is and that a group effort is needed to shape the system.

At our second panel at #NestInsight2025 Simon Bocca (@PayCaptain ), Alex Christopoulous (Aviva Foundation), @KateMPender (@Fair4AllFinance), Sope Otulana & Jo Phillips explored new & emerging solutions for boosting #FinancialResilience including hybrid debt/savings solutions.

Great to get a name check from Alex Director of Aviva Foundation at the @NESTInsight conference today for the @CPFW_Aston project they are funding exploring financial resilience amongst ethnic minority business owners - testing actionable innovations

@helen_undy of @mmhpi gave an insightful keynote speech at #NestInsight2025 on how people with mental health problems have less financial resilience, and explored what macro-economic benefits there could be to breaking that link.

Glad to join the @NESTInsight conference @asiahouseuk today. According to @TheFCA survey, 3 in 5 adults report difficulties with financial matters. We must be more proactive & joined up in our schools & unis in businesses, in training and on the @DWPgovuk website. @TorstenBell

Pleased to be joining the @NESTInsight 2025 Annual conference today in London with a focus this time on wider business and economic benefits of action to address low financial resilience. Exploring several potentially innovative solutions.

Read the second article in our blog series examining whether integrating pension assets into the UK housing system could improve #FinancialSecurity for low- to moderate-income households: nestinsight.org.uk/early-learning… 🧵3/3

Our #HousingAndPensions research project, funded by @finan_fairness, will robustly interrogate these arguments and help build a stronger foundation for future policy thinking. 🧵2/3 #FinancialResilience

For many people, pensions are the biggest financial asset they hold. Some say that this makes them a natural lever to help tackle housing challenges while also boosting engagement with saving. Others argue that pensions should be safeguarded solely for retirement income. 🧵1/3

What has the experience been of employers & providers offering opt-out #PayrollSavings? Our trials saw significant increases in participation rates and found the approach to be inclusive & effective. Check out our implementation guide: nestinsight.org.uk/wp-content/upl… #FinancialInclusion

Is there a role for UK pension assets in the UK housing system? We're embarking on a new project, funded by @finan_fairness, to explore the potential for closer links between #HousingAndPensions to help people build #FinancialSecurity. nestinsight.org.uk/is-there-a-rol…

January is a long month, especially when you're waiting to be paid. Recently, @NestInsight's Jo Phillips spoke to @PayrollPodcast about how the 'payslip moment' can be a catalyst for broader #FinancialWellbeing. Listen to the episode: youtu.be/YewTLZQi-8M?si… #PayrollSavings

In our latest blogpost, Will Sandbrook & Jo Phillips discuss how a strategy to improve household #FinancialResilience and increase saving should be an essential part of a strategy for economic growth: nestinsight.org.uk/underpinning-g… 🧵2/2

Traditionally discussions about #FinancialResilience have been focussed on the benefits to people and households at a microeconomic and social justice level. But we can see that there are also macroeconomic benefits. 🧵1/2

We expect 2025 to be even busier. In this blogpost, Will Sandbrook looks ahead as we continue to build evidence on workplace #EmergencySavings, explore #FinancialInclusion interventions and how to increase long-term savings for the self-employed: nestinsight.org.uk/welcome-to-2025 🧵2/2
