This weekend, we’re wishing every player, family, volunteer, and supporter involved in the Freddie Orton Memorial Tournament at Market Bosworth Football Club the very best of luck. ⚽❤️

Grassroots sport plays such an important role in bringing communities together, building confidence and creating lasting memories for young people.

We hope the weekend is filled with fun, teamwork and plenty of smiles, on and off the pitch.

Good luck to everyone taking part, and thank you to those giving their time to make the tournament possible. We are delighted to be able to support this fantastic event.

Tension around the Strait of Hormuz has increased global political and economic uncertainty since the beginning of the US-Iran conflict. As a key artery for global trade, the war has interrupted oil supply. This has a knock-on impact for almost every industry. Here we explore some of the world's most important shipping routes, levels of trade activity, and their main cargo.

🌱 We’re excited to share that, for the first time, Clay Wealth Management has chosen a Charity of the Year and for 2026 we’ll be supporting The Dave Lock Horsepool Foundation in Burbage. 💚

Claire and Kate recently visited Horsepool Farm, met with Justina and learnt more about the incredible work being done to create a calm, supportive environment through nature and animal interaction.

Over the coming months, we’re hoping to:
🐷 Help raise funds for a new pig arc (a home for the piglets)
🌿 Support awareness around future projects, including an accessible market garden
🙌 Volunteer our time where we can
💚 Get our wider community involved if they’d like to support too

This is just the beginning, and we’re looking forward to sharing more along the way.

Watch this space…

The Renters’ Rights Act came into force on 1 May 2026. It brought in new rules and requirements for private landlords in England, including the banning of no-fault evictions and fixed term tenancies. There are also new regulations around increases to rent.

Landlords and letting agents must send all named tenants a copy of the government-produced Renters’ Rights Act Information Sheet 2026, either digitally or in the post, by 31 May 2026. Failure to comply could lead to a £7,000 fine.

Read our guide to ensure you don’t fall foul of the rules and end up with a penalty.

The Bank of England (BoE) held the base rate at 3.75% this week.

But market expectations are now that the base rate will rise during 2026. This is because inflation is likely to go up due to increased oil prices caused by the prolonged conflict in Iran. The Bank of England uses interest rates as a tool to control rising inflation.

Mortgages are closely related to the Bank’s base rate, so what does this mean for anyone looking to buy or remortgage a property and in need of a new mortgage deal? Would a fixed or a tracker rate mortgage offer better value over time?

The Bank of England (BoE) held the base rate at 3.75% on Thursday (30 April). It is the third successive ‘hold’ vote by the BoE’s monetary policy committee (MPC), and it means rates have been stable at this level since December 2025. But with inflation likely to spike in the coming months due to sustained turmoil in the Middle East, the BoE’s balancing act is becoming more difficult.

But with no end in sight to the US Iran conflict, sustained high energy costs are causing significant inflationary pressure. It is likely the BoE may need to act soon, by way of increased interest rates, to control rising inflation. Experts are now predicting a base rate rise when the MPC next meets on 18 June.
