Meet Your Community Engagement Team

The Bank of Ireland Financial Wellbeing programme helps organisations across Northern Ireland support their employees and members with clear, practical money education seminars. Sessions are delivered online or in person by our experienced Senior Associates, Community Engagement, who are based in communities right across Northern Ireland.

Our programme is flexible, allowing you to choose the financial wellbeing topics that best meet your needs. Topics can be added to your existing wellbeing calendar or run as standalone sessions.

Why Financial Wellbeing Matters

Financial wellbeing matters because it can reduce stress, help you plan for unexpected costs and making informed financial choices gives you more freedom and security in everyday life.

Recent research* with Northern Ireland consumers by Bank of Ireland found that:

  • Almost half of adults feel anxious about their finances.

  • Only 46% feel confident about their financial situation over the next 12 months.

  • More than half are categorised as “Struggling” or “Stretched,” highlighting the everyday challenges people face in managing their money.

By supporting people to build financial confidence, employers and community organisations can help reduce stress and improve wider wellbeing.
