???? Partnering with Principality Building Society (PBS) to support the next generation of financially confident young people

Principality Building Society recognise the pressing need for dedicated financial education for young people at school. They’ve donated £100,000 to fund centres across Wales to register students for any LIBF financial education qualification.

So far, 44 centres have been allocated funding. 12 of these are outreach centres – meaning the funding is reaching vulnerable young people who need it the most.
