‘It stopped me having to take out loans’

Emma Anderson, from the East Midlands, loves knowing that Christmas is always going to be paid for

I used to work for a company that ran its own Christmas savings scheme. When I left, I really missed it and I wanted to find something similar.

Park seemed like a good plan and it had lots of positive online reviews so I knew it was trustworthy.

It’s a great scheme. I’ve recommended it online and to other mums I know. I tell them about how I was made redundant in 2020 because of the pandemic, but because of Park, Christmas was paid for and it stopped me having to use credit cards or loans.

Even in a normal year, it’s amazing to have Christmas all paid for by October. It takes a huge weight off my mind knowing that my little boy will always have a present to open.

Park helps me plan my time too. I don’t have to wait until I’m paid in December – which could be as late as Christmas Eve – before I go shopping. I can hit the shops and have everything done in one day.

None of us can know what each year will bring, but with Park I do know that I’ve got Christmas covered and we’ll always be able to have a celebration.
