Rising childcare costs

According to analysis by charity 4Children, the average family spends 31% of disposable income on childcare and that figure is set to rise to 40% within a decade. It is bleak figures such as these which should prompt us to ensure we are making use of all the discounts and benefits we are entitled to from our membership organisations. We need to make every penny count and work hard.

By registering (for free), all the organisations to which you belong at www.iMember.co.uk you will immediately be reminded of all the discounts, rewards, bonuses and entitlements that membership brings you. A survey carried out last year found that more than three quarters of the adult population belong to or pay a regular subscription to at least one organisation - however, half of these members had no idea what membership benefits were available to them and were therefore not using them.

iMember reminds users when savings (to which they are already entitled because of their memberships) are available. The free mobile app means that when you are out and about, you can be reminded of a member benefit when you are within a certain radius of one.

Full time childcare costs for two children aged 2 and 5 years old are estimated at £11,700 per annum. Make sure your membership organisations are working for you:- health, home and car insurance; gym; newspapers; social media groups; store cards; breakdown services; walking, running, skiing, tennis or golf clubs; university alumnis. The list of membership organisations is extensive, the list of member benefits are huge and the financial savings you could be making now are enormous.
