Are you interested in research on family finances? Do you want to know the latest developments in family finance data from UK social surveys?

Join us for the Family Finance Surveys User Conference 2025. View the programme under event resources below.

This free annual conference, organised by the UK Data Service in collaboration with the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and the Office for National Statistics (ONS), provides a forum for researchers to present their work and engage with data producers and fellow researchers.

The conference will take place on Wednesday 9 July 2025 in person at Friends House in London – with an online option available for those who prefer to join remotely.

We are delighted to announce that this year's keynote speaker is Dr Jonathan Cribb, Associate Director at the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS).

The user conference brings data producers and data users together to share updates on the development of the surveys and to showcase research that is being carried out using the data. Surveys include the Family Resources Survey, Living costs and food survey and Wealth and Assets Survey.
