The Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment is encouraging UK Financial Planners to back its national annual consumer campaign - Financial Planning Week - which will run from 7-11 October.

Experts were left enthused by Financial Planning Week and described the event as “amazing”.

With Financial Planning Week under way two firms have revealed what they are doing to mark the event and boost the profile of Financial Planning.

As part of Financial Planning Week, which kicked off yesterday, UK consumers are being offered free personal Financial Planning sessions worth up to £500 with the theme to “make dreams happen.”
