How YELEE helps

Prepare

Consider how your finances might change with a new job, a growing family, a separation, a move, a loss of income or a new financial opportunity.

Explore life changes

Money decisions are hard enough.

Budgets that never seem to stretch. Savings goals that feel out of reach. Investment terms that sound like another language. And online promises that leave you wondering what's genuine and what could be a scam.

Illustration: a worried young man holding an open wallet as his money flows away into housing and bills, groceries, transport, entertainment, subscriptions, impulse spending and unexpected expenses.
BUDGETING

Where does it all go?

Bills, everyday spending and unexpected costs compete for the same money. It can be difficult to see where your money goes, decide what matters most and make a plan that works in real life.

Payday: here for a good time, not a long time.

Illustration: a worried woman carrying rising costs while savings get pulled towards a broken boiler, car trouble, a house deposit, a holiday, a wedding and unexpected bills.
SAVING

What if something happens?

You want a financial cushion, but rising costs and competing priorities can make saving feel difficult. You may be unsure how much to put aside, where to keep it, or how to prepare for an unexpected expense.

The boiler always knows when you've just saved up.

Illustration: a couple looking uncertain at a tangle of investing questions, including confusing jargon, fear of loss, scam risk, betting and trading, property, stocks and shares ISAs and global funds.
INVESTING

What can I trust?

Financial jargon, fear of losing money and stories about trading, betting and scams can make investing feel intimidating. It can be hard to tell the difference between long-term investing, speculation and promises that sound too good to be true.

If someone in a group chat promises 300% returns, that's your cue to leave the group chat.

You shouldn't have to figure it all out alone.

Your relationship with money has a story.

Family expectations, cultural experiences and the environment we grow up in can influence how we spend, save, share and think about wealth. Those influences are not the same for everyone, but they can be worth exploring.

YELEE brings perspectives informed by the lived experiences of people of African, Asian and Caribbean heritage in the UK into financial education that is practical, thoughtful and open to everyone.

A useful place to start.

Receive free financial education resources by email, with ideas and exercises to explore your money mindset and everyday financial choices.
