Make your money go further with YOUR REWARDS

September is always a busy time, with people returning to their usual routines and children returning back to school or heading off to college, university or further afield.

Finances shift to energy bills, back to school costs and dare we say it…Christmas!

Now seems a perfect time to remind members of the Your Rewards Benefits scheme.

We have been asked about the “typical savings” that can be made when using the Your Rewards Benefits website, so we have put together some of the savings that can be made.

Back-to-school budgeting: how to get ahead of the costs

For many families, the next big expense after the school summer holidays in the back to school costs. From uniforms and stationery to transport and lunches, the cost of sending children back to school can quickly add up.

Being off work due to a lengthy illness or injury can bring with it lots of emotions; worry, frustration and sometimes helplessness.

We understand how important it is for members to feel like they are being looked after and helped back to health during these difficult periods in their lives.

Each year our charity spends around £60,000 on its members doing just that – helping them back to health and fitness.

This maybe in the form of residential physiotherapy or wellbeing breaks at the multi-million-pound treatment centre, St Michael’s Lodge or by providing counselling sessions with a professional team of psychotherapists.

It may also be through our sickness voucher scheme which we have recently increased.

If a member is unable to work for more than 21 days consecutively through sickness, they will now be able to claim £35 in shopping vouchers as opposed to the previous £30 voucher.

A member off sick for more than four months can now claim a further £35 in vouchers. Although not a big monetary amount, it acts as a small ‘Get Well’ gesture from us.

To all our members who are currently off work through injury or illness and maybe facing a long recovery, please get in touch with the Benevolent Fund, we may be able to help with your journey back to health and fitness.
