Starting out
Understanding your money, receiving your first wage and beginning to save.
WE THOUGHT FINANCIAL ADVICE WAS ONLY FOR RICH PEOPLE
Let’s set that straight. Talk to EIGHT.
EIGHT is proud to be the Official Financial Advice Partner and an Official Regional Partner of Southampton Football Club.
Together, we want to make financial education and advice feel more accessible, build confidence across the Saints community and create meaningful support for local children and families. EIGHT’s advisers support clients with pensions and retirement, investments, mortgages, insurance and protection, inheritance tax planning, care and later-life planning, and the financial needs of business owners.
EIGHT X SAINTS
More than a sponsorship
This partnership is about using the power of the Saints community to start more conversations about money, improve financial confidence and create a positive impact beyond the pitch.

FINANCIAL ADVICE
Fewer than one in ten UK adults access regulated financial advice
Financial advice is often seen as services reserved for the wealthy. EIGHT wants to help change that perception. From getting married, buying a first home and starting a family to saving for a child’s education, building a business, caring for loved ones or preparing for retirement, financial planning can help people navigate life’s important moments with greater confidence.
Through our partnership with Southampton FC, we want to show more people that financial advice can be for them – and that taking the first step can be easier than they think.

OUR SHARED COMMITMENT
Discover The Eight Foundation
Two foundations One shared commitment to our community
The EIGHT Foundation and Saints Foundation will work together to identify local projects supporting children, young people and families in need.
Founded in 2017, the EIGHT Foundation is a grant-making charitable trust supporting smaller local causes relating to health, poverty and education. EIGHT matches every pound donated, helping each contribution make an even greater difference.
As our work with Saints Foundation develops, we’ll share the people, projects and stories the partnership helps support.
THE FIRST STEP
What’s on your mind?
You don’t need to have everything organised. You don’t need to understand all the terminology. And you don’t need to know exactly what advice you need. Whether you have a specific financial question or simply want a clearer idea of where you are today, an initial conversation can help. There are no wrong questions and no obligation to proceed.
