For many people, saving is about preparing for the future. Whether it’s building an emergency fund, saving for something special or creating a little extra financial breathing space, putting money aside regularly can help provide reassurance and confidence.

While many recognise the value of saving, building a financial cushion can take time. According to the Building Societies Association, around 14 million people in the UK have less than £100 in savings available to fall back on in an emergency*, highlighting the importance of building even a small financial safety net.

Small steps can make a big difference

The good news is that saving doesn’t need to start with large amounts.

Setting aside even a small sum each month will build over time and help create healthy financial habits. Whether it’s preparing for an unexpected expense, planning for Christmas, saving for a holiday or working towards a longer-term goal, regular saving can help you feel more in control of their finances.

That message sits at the heart of UK Savings Week, a national campaign led by the Building Societies Association which encourages people to think about the benefits of saving and their financial wellbeing.

Building a savings habit can be one of the most positive steps people take for their financial wellbeing. Even small amounts saved regularly can make a real difference over time. As a mutual, we're proud to help our members save for the future while also supporting the communities we serve through local initiatives, partnerships and community investment.

Choosing where you save matters too

At Market Harborough Building Society, we’ve been helping people save for more than 150 years. As a mutual building society, we’re owned by our members, not shareholders. That means we can focus on delivering real value for members while also investing in the communities we serve.

Through our branches, community initiatives and our Thrive Agenda, we’re committed to making a positive difference across the towns and villages we call home.

Supporting local communities

One example is our Community Prize Draw, which gives savers the opportunity to support a local charity or community organisation. Each month, a winning member is invited to nominate a good cause to receive a £1,000 donation, helping charities, community groups and volunteers continue the valuable work they do across our area.

It’s just one of the ways we connect saving with community impact and bring our purpose to life. Saving helps your money grow. Choosing to save with us can help your community grow too.

That's why we believe where you save matters.

With us, your savings grow, your community thrives.
