Content
A highly interactive financial education programme, designed to help set positive money habits and mindsets from an early age.
Expert-led sessions are complemented by an assembly, teacher resources and family challenges. These unique and engaging activities teach young people to become informed consumers, savvy savers, and mindful spenders by making finance fun.
Sessions cover:
- Assembly: Introduction to different money mindsets relating to the consequences of everyday spending and saving.
- My Money: Looking at how and where we get money, forms of payment and different bank accounts.
- My Choices: Making choices with money, delaying gratification, needs vs wants and understanding that money is finite.
- My Future: Understanding why people save, setting money goals and how having positive money habits now helps in the future.
