Welcome to the first Moneysworth Blog!

Welcome to the Moneysworth first blog! We are an independent IFA who specialise in finding life assurance for those with health conditions such as diabetes, dangerous hobbies and hazardous jobs.

The Moneysworth team have a wide range of opinions and interests, of which i'm sure will be apparent when other members of the team blog!

My names Jacey and I am head of Marketing at Moneysworth. I love cocktails and hate butternut squash!

I was watching Day Break yesterday when i came across this amazing story. http://www.itv.com/daybreak/lifestyle/petsandanimals/meetlifesavingshirleythelabrador


It was an article about Shirley, the life saving Labrador! Her owner, 6 year old Rebecca suffers from Diabetes, and can go into a diabetic coma at any point of the day. Shirley, a hypo-alert dog, has been trained to smell when Rebeccas blood sugar reaches dangerously low levels and can alert those around her by licking their hands when Rebecca needs to raise her blood sugar, and therefore prevents her from slipping into a diabetic coma - how amazing!? Shirley accompanies Rebecca to school and even watches over her when she sleeps, what a hero! What marvellous things we can train such intelligent dogs to do. This kind of thing will prevent people from fatal occurrences and I look forward to hearing more success stories like this soon!
