Rugby is more than a game – it’s a community. But off the field, the challenges we face can sometimes feel heavier than any tackle.

In this conversation, we bring together Welsh rugby legend Jon ‘Foxy’ Davies, financial vulnerability expert and rugby coach Steve Donovan, and IE Hub CEO Dylan Jones, hosted by Gareth Roberts.

Together, they talk about life beyond rugby, including financial pressures, mental health, and why creating space for honest conversations matters.
If this speaks to you, take a moment to listen and reflect... these conversations matter more than we realise.

The more we talk, the more we make space for others to do the same.

It is important to recognise that people think, learn and process information in different ways.

For some people, everyday tasks like reading long information, completing forms or organising finances can feel overwhelming.

Accessible tools can make a real difference.

At IE Hub, we see this in how people use our platform. Screen readers, translation tools and reading aids are used by thousands of people who benefit from different ways of interacting with information.

Because when systems are designed with different needs in mind, more people can access support and manage their finances with confidence.

Talking about debt can feel uncomfortable.
For many people, it also comes with shame or embarrassment.

But, financial struggles are far more common than many people realise.

From responses shared by 576 IE Hub users:

• 64% struggled for at least a year before seeking support
• 36% waited years or until creditors told them to ask for help

When we asked why people delayed reaching out, many said things like:

“I buried my head in the sand.”
“It’s too stressful to think about my money issues.”
“So many other things to sort out in general life.”

Debt often sits alongside stress, life pressures and feeling overwhelmed.

If you’re struggling financially, you are not the only one.
And taking the first step can make a real difference.

Support exists, and it often starts with something small.

For many families, women managing household finances are not only paying bills. They are planning ahead, absorbing unexpected costs, balancing work and caring responsibilities, and carrying the emotional weight of trying to keep everything stable.

This financial and emotional load often goes unseen.

In our latest blog, we explore the hidden pressures many women experience when managing household finances, from unpaid care and part-time work to the quiet stress that can build when money becomes uncertain.

Behind every bill, there’s a story.

For many women, managing money is mostly about holding everything together.

Budgeting.
Keeping track of bills.
Making sure the household stays afloat.
Worrying about what happens if something goes wrong.

This International Women's Day and Women’s History Month, we’re sharing real stories about the emotional side of money, and the pressures many women quietly carry.

Because financial struggles rarely start with irresponsibility.
More often, they start with life.

Ever started your IE Hub budget and thought…

“Why do they need to know all this?”
“Do I really have to answer everything?”

We get it. When money already feels heavy, detailed questions can feel overwhelming.

But those questions are there to protect you.

They help:
✔ Make sure your budget is realistic
✔ Prevent you agreeing to payments you can’t afford
✔ Reduce back-and-forth with organisations
✔ Give you the best chance of a fair outcome

We’ve written a short blog explaining exactly why we ask what we ask, and how it actually works in your favour.

Wondering why IE Hub asks so many budget questions? Here’s how the detail protects you, helps creditors understand, and avoids unaffordable payments.

An Income & Expenditure can sound formal, but at IE Hub, we usually just call it a budget.

They mean the same thing.

Income & Expenditure (I&E) is the term you’ll often see used on the business or creditor side.
Budget is the word most people use in everyday life.

So if you see us talking about your budget, don’t worry, we’re talking about the same thing.

It’s simply a snapshot of:

what money comes in

what money goes out

what’s left after essentials

Not a test. Not a judgement. And not something you’re stuck with forever.

At IE Hub, we focus on making this process feel clearer and more human; so you can explain your situation honestly, without pressure, and update it as life changes.
