‘I don’t think there’s a better company out there’

Darren Pollington, from Yorkshire, started saving with Park Christmas Savings when his children were born

For me, Christmas is about seeing my kids’ faces when they see what they’ve got. They open their big present or a surprise gift and they just light up. That makes everything worth it.

I like being part of a savings club. If you have the money put aside in a bank account then it’s just too easy to transfer it back over again. With Park, you know you’ve got it and you can’t move it. I put my payment aside as soon as my wages come in and then I find I don’t miss the money. You can track it over the year – see how much you’ve already paid and how much is left to go. It’s satisfying to watch it build up.

Everyone always worries that they haven’t got enough for Christmas or that they’ve missed someone out, but with Park we can make sure we’ve saved enough towards Christmas to cover everyone.

It takes away the stress and the worry that I used to have. It means I can just enjoy seeing how happy everyone else is. I don’t think there’s a better company out there doing what Park does.
