After launching in 2023, BFRAG has 31 signatories including Brunel Care, We The Curious, Aviva and Clarke Bond. January 2025 marks the launch of year 2 of the programme, where they are looking for new signatories to join and utilise these valuable resources, including their course of 12 financial wellbeing webinars covering key financial topics delivered by experts from Hargreaves Lansdown.

The work of BFRAG stems from Hargreaves Lansdown’s leading research into Financial Resilience, the Savings and Resilience Barometer. This analysis scores households up and down the country for their financial resilience across five key areas: controlling their debt, protecting their family, rainy day savings, planning for later life, and investing to make more of their money.  The latest report shows that there is room for improvement for Bristol in relation to financial resilience.
