Pineapple Financial Planning

Earlier this week we collected 16 bags of clothes, toys and homewares (plus a bureau!) to donate to Martin House Children's Hospice for their charity shops.

A huge thank you to the Martin House team for collecting everything from our office in their van, making it so easy for us to give our unwanted items a second life while supporting a fantastic cause.

As part of our ongoing commitment to Martin House, we're aiming to run a few collections each year. For the next one, we'll be opening donations up to our community in the fortnight beforehand, so watch this space for the date!🍍

Meet Joshua Dickinson 👋

Josh grew up in the outskirts of York, where he lived until heading off to university to study Sports Business Management. After completing his undergraduate degree, he decided one business degree wasn't quite enough, so he packed his bags and moved to the USA to earn a Master of Business Administration (MBA). You could argue he has a genuine passion for all things business.

When he's not at work, you'll usually find Josh keeping active. Whether it's running, cycling or getting out for a long walk, he enjoys staying fit and making the most of the outdoors.

We’re proud to announce that Pineapple Financial Planning has become a charity partner of Martin House Children's Hospice 💙

The care Martin House provides is a lifeline for so many children and families across Yorkshire. Through this ongoing partnership, we hope to help make a lasting difference for the people who need it most.

We’re already planning a year of fundraising, including taking part in Martin House’s own events and organising some of our own. We’ll keep you updated along the way.

To mark the start of the partnership, we joined Martin House’s Celebrating Partnerships event at Lost & Found in Leeds. In 'The Heist', partners teamed up to solve clues, crack the safe and retrieve the key to the hospice 🔑 It was a great chance to meet the other organisations who support Martin House’s work and to see the impact we can make together.

Thank you to the Martin House team for having us. Here’s to a fantastic year ahead.

From April 2027, most unused pension funds will be included when calculating the value of someone's estate for inheritance tax (IHT) purposes. This will push more people into the scope of this tax.

When thinking about estate planning, most people typically explore ways to pay for their IHT bill. But an often overlooked detail is the liquidity available to pay the bill on time. With probate often taking longer than the six-month deadline to pay IHT, executors may find themselves with a bill to pay but no immediate money to settle it.

But there are ways to help your loved ones after you’ve gone, ensuring they can pay an IHT bill on time. Read more here: https://bit.ly/4AuPsyn 🍍

How can women go about closing the financial gaps? Being aware of the problem is the first step. Explore full details in our recent article 'Closing the gap: women, pay and pensions'. Take a look: https://bit.ly/4AsKORh 🍍
