Student money: make it last🎓

Starting university or college often means managing your own money properly for the first time, and that can take some getting used to.

A simple budget can help you see what you have coming in, cover your essentials first and work out how much you can realistically spend each week.

Remember, student finance hitting your account might feel like payday... but it has to last! 👀

Small changes to the way you manage your money now can help you build good financial habits for the future.

This Wednesday, we’re shining a spotlight on our NTMM courses in action!

Our courses are about more than learning new skills. They create a supportive space where people can build confidence, develop practical money skills and feel more in control of their finances.

This is what the voluntary and community sector looks like in action: bringing people together, sharing knowledge and helping people build skills that can make a real difference in everyday life.

Without organisations like ours, opportunities like these simply wouldn’t exist.

💙 We’re proud to stand alongside Spark Somerset for , celebrating the difference our sector makes across our communities.

🎒 Back to school doesn’t have to break the budget.

Uniforms, shoes, stationery, packed lunches, transport, clubs… the costs of a new school year can add up quickly.

A few ways to make the back-to-school budget stretch further:

👕 Look for pre-loved uniform through your school, local groups or uniform exchanges
💷 Check whether your family is eligible for help with school-related costs
🥪 Plan packed lunches ahead to help keep weekly spending down
🚌 Add transport and after-school clubs into your monthly budget now
♻️ Buy second-hand where you can, but always use trusted sellers and secure payment methods
⚠️ Be cautious about using Buy Now Pay Later for school essentials if you’re not sure you’ll be able to afford the repayments

And remember- children don’t need everything brand new to have a great start to the school year 💙

Parents and carers: what’s been your biggest back-to-school expense this year?

For , we’re sharing the voice of someone who came to Navigate for support 💙

For autistic people, asking for help and navigating unfamiliar or overwhelming situations can be incredibly difficult. Having someone who takes the time to listen, reassure and create a calm, supportive space can make all the difference.

In this video, one of the people we supported shares how our team helped her feel at ease, understood and supported when she needed it.

This is why lived experience matters. This is why accessible, compassionate support matters. And this is why services should never be designed without us.
