The government is doing exactly what we (and 49 other experts) warned them not to do on the front page of The Guardian last month John. They’re  slashing protections, loosening rules, and bending to the will of big finance so banks can take even more risks with our money. [1] That’s why we need your help John. 

By completing the 2025 Positive Money supporter survey, you’ll make our campaigns even more effective, just when they’re needed the most. Because the more of us who weigh in to shape our strategy, the stronger it’ll be.

Hundreds of people have taken the survey already John, join them and make sure your voice is heard by the 31st January 👇

Today, Rachel Reeves is meeting with key regulators to tell them to go all guns blazing for growth - even if it means ditching crucial protections that keep our money safe. [2]

But we know what happens when big banks are allowed to treat our economy like a casino. Positive Money was founded in the wake of the 2008 global financial crisis, to stand up to reckless finance and fight for a fairer money and banking system. 

When we come together, we can drown out the big banks and their lobbyists to tell the government the other side of the story - giving the financial sector more freedom isn't the solution, it's part of the problem.

By taking this survey, you’re making sure our campaigns align with the issues you care about the most. Last year, pushing back against deregulation and clamping down on the power of big banks came out as a top issue, so we took the #TaxTheBanks message to both Chancellors in 2024, and have been sounding the alarm on deregulation. [3] Are we still hitting the mark? 

Will you take 5 minutes to tell us what’s important to you?

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us, because we make better decisions when we make them together.

Thanks so much for your support,

Kate, Positive Money
