Money Twist workshops cover practical and relevant everyday financial matters. Each of the sessions focuses on a different topic:

My Money: Payslips, Tax, National Insurance, Government Spending, Minimum wage, Careers

My Choices: Needs vs. Wants, Choices & Lifestyle, Budgeting, Saving, Goals

My Future: Interest, Inflation, Ethical choices, Flow of money, Jargon buster, Accounts, Credit, Debt, Credit history

Money Twist approaches financial capability in a hands-on manner as young people debate, play games, watch video case studies and involve physical activity in their learning. Participants are encouraged to give their own views and critically analyse various financial problems that people are faced with, as well as considering their own financial futures.

The workshops are designed to get young people thinking and caring about their finances. Throughout the workshop series, participants build a money journey of the things they have learnt.

Money Twist is based on the Every Child Matters, Ofsted and PSHEE
guidelines on financial literacy, and maps into aspects of the PSHEE,
Citizenship, Maths and English curriculum. It is ideal for financial capability focus days, enterprise weeks or can be delivered over a number of weeks.

Multiple Money Twist workshops can be run simultaneously to allow several groups to take part at once.

Case Study

Mount Carmel Technology College in Islington ran several Money Twist workshops during an off timetable day. One participant said:

"It was fun and a new experience to learn about handling my money and what happens to it. Thank you very much for helping me understand things that I did not know before like National Insurance".

AQA Unit Awards
