How it works

How our app gives you savings superpowers

Squirrelled helps you save for your child’s education and support your school, just by shopping online with our retailers.  From Argos to Booking.com to Clarks, it’s as easy as ABC to shop with us and earn cash back.

Daily Saving

Each time you do an online shop, some cash comes back into your Squirrelled account.

It might be £1 or £100 (we have some great deals), either way, before you know it, there's a nice chunk there. The average family could earn £12,000 in free money while their kids are at school.

(From Autumn 2025, you'll be able to boost your cashback with round-ups on your own spend, retailer competitions and more!)

Spend or Squirrel

You can choose whether to spend the money you've earned or squirrel it.

Leave it in your account for unexpected costs like a school trip (or more suddenly outgrown shoes!) or save some or all of it in a Black Rock investment account.

(FYI, during our Preview stage, it will just stay in your Squirrelled account as cash, but from Spring 2026 you'll be able to squirrel it away in an interest-bearing account).

All together, better

We and our retailers reward both families and schools.

We are the only app which does this. No other cashback scheme uses your spending power to reward you and fundraise for your school, without costing you a penny.

What's more, from Autumn this year, you'll be able to team up with friends and family to boost your savings. Watch out for news!

Power-up your Squirrelled account

You'll receive regular notifications of offers from our retailers, which will supercharge your funds.

It might be double cashback one week, or a special cashback deal another, adding more funds in a flash.

For schools

How to get parents supporting your school

Every time parents shop through the Squirrelled app, they earn cash back.

In addition, we provide funds equivalent to 40% of their cashback to the parents' chosen school. This could be you!

It's free, simple and quick to sign up your school. And it's available to all schools in the UK.
Just click the Schools/PTA sign up button in the top right of your screen.

1

We make it easy

It takes less than 2 minutes to register and we have a 24/7 UK-based customer care team who can answer any queries, technical or otherwise.

If you're a school, we just need your name, school or PTA, and email address, and we'll send you a toolkit with ready-written messaging for your parents.

We'll also send you free posters and bookbag leaflets too.

2

We're unique

No other cashback supports both parents and schools. Which we believe means that parents will shop more often through Squirrelled (anything from holidays to Hula Hoops), knowing that they and their schools are benefiting.

3

And we're happy to support your school's fundraising events

We'll attend your school fair or sports day with a whole raft of activities, such as 'Beat Ed the Goalie' (spoiler alert: Ed is a terrible goalie!) and we have activity packs created by teachers for every school year and much more.

Being inquisitive squirrels, we're always open to new ideas from you.

Our Story

Who, why and how!

The five co-founders – Mia, Colin, Peter and ‘the Richards’ have 16 children and 1 grandchild between then, aged between 4 and 36 (the children, not the co-founders!). One of the Richards was a co-founder of the Nectar card, over 20 years ago; the other is our money man, together with Peter. Colin, our techie CEO is the youngest co-founder – he went to the same secondary school as co-founder Mia’s husband; albeit 23 years later!  

Mia, whose career has been in marketing, is the only grandparent so far among the group. All of us are very aware, not only of the costs involved with your child attending school, but also the expense attached to ‘extra’ activity, in which we feel all children should participate. We got together to find a way to help parents, especially in this cost of living crisis, and schools, who really feel budget cuts, and their PTAs, for whom fundraising is an ongoing challenge
