Cycle to work – October window opening!

Following the successful launch of the Cycle to Work Scheme to the Society earlier this year we plan to open another window for ordering between 23^rd October and 22^nd November 2022.

There have been some changes to the scheme since we launched based on feedback.

• We’ve increased the limit from £1,000 to £2,000 on bikes and accessories so that you have more flexibility and choice. This includes a wide selection of electric bikes.
• We have clarified the eligibility criteria as your hourly rate after Cycle to Work Scheme deductions cannot take you below the National Minimum /Living Wage

If anyone is interested in the scheme but are not eligible due to the minimum wage impact please contact a member of the People and Performance team as we may be able to support with a potential alternative option.

The link for ordering a bike is www.cyclesolutions.info/scotmid.

Financial Wellbeing

Financial wellbeing is about how much control people feel they have over their financial future and their relationship with money.   Money can be a major source of anxiety and stress which is particularly pertinent given the current climate of increasing fuel prices and energy costs.  Recently published figures showed that nearly 80% of UK residents are stressed about money.

Retail Trust have some excellent resources available to support financial wellbeing and have provided us with a really useful 8-minute video talking through some financial challenges, support and financial aid that is available.
