What sort of savings account?
ISA? Instant Access? Fixed bond (over several years)?
MoneySavingExpert can help finding top choices.

Open up a Halifax Reward current account. Pay in £1000 a month then pay it straight out again into your proper account - it'll earn a fiver a month doing that.
If you've got a bit of cash do the above and open up a Santander account that is giving 5% on balances up to £2500 and just bounce £1000 between them each month.
5%, thats less than inflation.
