It’s rude to talk about money, right? Wrong. Money really matters. From knowing your worth to understanding the gender investment gap and how to close it, we’re here to help women have more open conversations about money and investing. Because the truth, is women in the UK have less than half the levels of savings and investments as men*. At AJ Bell we’re passionate about helping people invest – so that statistic really bothers us. Money Matters is our programme to put this right, through a range of educational material to help women get to grips with investing. As well as this website, that includes a regular newsletter, a podcast, and webinars all designed with female investors in mind. So what are you waiting for? Join the conversation today.

On this episode of the Money Matters podcast Danni and Laura discuss the issue of childcare costs. With inflation shooting up and options hard to come by after lockdowns pushed a number of providers to quit or close, prices are at an all-time high.
We hear from a number of mums about how they’re coping by using family to fill in or by quitting work altogether.
We talk through the help that’s available and discuss why many parents aren’t accessing what they’re entitled to, particularly when it comes to tax-free childcare. The issue has become a political hot-potato and the government says it’s looking at ways to bring down costs, but providers aren’t convinced some of the plans are feasible. Danni chats to Purnima Tunuku, chief executive of the National Day Nursery Association, about what her members think about the current state of the system in the UK, what parents are paying for and why it’s so expensive.
