💜 Members' Month starts today! 💜

Today marks the start of Members' Month 2026, our annual celebration of the people at the heart of Saffron: our members.

Over the next few weeks, we'll be bringing Members' Month to life with exclusive experiences, special rewards, family activities 🎟️, events 🎉 and, this year, an exciting partnership with English Heritage 🏰. It's our way of saying thank you to the members who choose to save, borrow and build their future with us.

As a mutual, everything we do is for the benefit of our members, and Members' Month is a chance to celebrate that special relationship. Whether you've been with us for years or have recently joined the Society, we're delighted to have you as part of the Saffron community 💜.

We hope you'll join us throughout September and make the most of everything Members' Month has to offer.

✨ Here's to Members' Month 2026! ✨

Every parent wants to give their child the best possible start.

But many families tell us rising living costs are making it difficult to save as much as they'd like, and most wish they'd started earlier. The good news? Even small amounts saved regularly can make a difference over time.

If you've been thinking about opening a savings account for your child, there’s no better time to get started.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family finances are changing… and it’s a team effort.

Our research shows that saving for children is no longer just down to parents. It’s becoming a shared mission across the whole family 💛

💷 UK adults are contributing an estimated £19bn every year to children’s savings
📊 Around 65% regularly put money aside for the next generation
🎯 Families expect children could have £10,000+ saved by age 18

From grandparents to extended family, more people are stepping in to help build financial futures 🌱

It’s a powerful reminder that:
✨ Financial wellbeing is increasingly intergenerational
✨ Support networks matter more than ever
✨ Saving is becoming a shared responsibility

The future of finance? It looks a lot more like… family.
