Financial Literacy Programme

Background

The Financial Literacy programme combines basic financial knowledge with enterprise and employability skills, with 7 sessions taking place in a calendar year. The programme aims to equip children at a younger age with the tools and knowledge that will support them through to employment.

Through this scheme, a group of volunteers from the business community will link with a Primary school. These volunteers lead and support workshops run in the school, office or on a trip, for example to the Bank of England.

Overview

The following outline of activities provides an overview of what the scheme offers: schools and businesses have the option of completing the sessions on Financial Literacy skills, the sessions on Enterprise, or to complete the programme in its entirety.
