What Autumn Budget 2025 means for you: watch our webinar with NOON

Events & Webinars

If you’ve ever watched the live broadcast of a Budget speech, you’ll know that there’s a lot of noise (literally) to cut through. What do the tax changes mean in practice? What should you do to manage the impact on your personal, family and business finances?

The week after Autumn Budget 2025 – only the second Budget from a female Chancellor of the Exchequer –we co-hosted a webinar for NOON’s brilliant community of midlife women. If you missed it, you can watch the recording here.

Giving a clear, confident explanation of the key announcements, your expert guides are Myfanwy Beynon-Pollitt, our Head of Governance and Sustainability;  Emma Brown, our Head of Tax Operations; and Eleanor Mills, the founder of NOON.
