Helping you take control of your finances

Join thousands of people across our nation who have taken up the 'Cash for a Month' challenge - and give debt the elbow!

It’s reckoned we spend a third more when we use credit cards. So the idea is simple – sign up to use cash only for your everyday shopping during the next month.

Care for the Family’s ‘Cash for a Month’ encourages controlled spending – and shows you how much you really spend by foregoing credit and debit cards, and solely using cash. And we’ve kept it simple: standing orders and direct debits stay the same.

How using cash only will help you

Most people who have taken part in ‘Cash for a Month’ have said that they found they had spent less and were going to be far more careful about how often they used cards to pay for things in future. For some people, it was the first time they really noticed how much they were spending every week.
