It worked sometimes, but it could be tricky because both people had to want what the other person had. Money was created to make trading easier.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News &amp; Insights - Protecting More Than Just Your Mortgage</image:title>
      <image:caption>When it comes to protection, it isn’t an all or nothing deal. This is where a qualified financial adviser can help navigate the wide range of protection products available, such as life cover, critical illness, and income protection, while balancing your priorities and budget. In an ideal world we would all be protected in the event of any eventuality, but that just isn’t realistic and makes little financial sense. By understanding your circumstances and goals, an adviser ensures that the solution is tailored, affordable, and aligned with your overall financial plan, so you can focus on living life with confidence.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News &amp; Insights - Income Protection Action Week: 22nd - 26th September 2025 - Consider that:</image:title>
      <image:caption>42% of employed adults believe they could only survive a month or less on their current savings. Statutory Sick Pay is just £109.40 per week - hardly enough to cover rent, bills, and essentials. Critical illness cover pays out only for specific conditions and often just once. Income protection, on the other hand, provides regular, tax-free payments until you’re well enough to return to work - or until retirement. It’s flexible, reliable, and tailored to your needs.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News &amp; Insights - Know Your Numbers Week - What is Hypertension?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is a common medical condition where the force of blood against the walls of your arteries is consistently too high. It is often called the silent killer because it typically has no symptoms, yet it can lead to serious health problems if left untreated such as heart disease, stroke, kidney damage and vision loss.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News &amp; Insights - Know Your Numbers Week - What do your numbers mean?</image:title>
      <image:caption>When you have your blood pressure measured, you will be given two numbers, a top number and a bottom number. The top number is your systolic blood pressure. This is the highest level reached when your heart pumps blood around the body. The bottom number is your diastolic blood pressure. This is the lowest level reached as your heart relaxes during beats. If the first number is 120 and the second number is 80, you would refer to this as 120 over 80.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>His funeral will take place on 10th September 2025, and while the family has requested no flowers, they have kindly set up a JustGiving page in support of the Mid and South Essex Renal Unit, a cause close to their hearts.
