This challenge has been running for a number of years and is so popular I have agreed to run it again in 2025. If you wish to join please post on this thread and I will allocate you a number which should be quoted when you update on your progress. You can do this either using cash in a jar or virtually by transferring to a savings space or account. It is up to you when you update but most people do it monthly. 

The aim is to save £667.95 by the end of 2025 by saving 1p on 1st January, 2p on 2nd January and so on all the way up to £3.65 on 31 December.   You do not have to do it in a set order. Here is the link explaining how the challenge works. There is a PDF table there you can download and suggestions on how to record your savings. 

How to save £667.95 in 2025 with the 1p Savings Challenge
