Helping everyone achieve financial wellbeing

The Money Charity’s vision is for everyone to achieve financial wellbeing by managing their money well. We empower people across the UK to build the skills, knowledge, attitudes and behaviours, to make the most of their money throughout their lives; helping them achieve their goals and live a happier more positive life as a result.

This year, we are celebrating our 30th birthday! Money Workshops – 300,000th young person reached!

We’re thrilled that we recently celebrated reaching our 300,000th young person since 2010, via our Money Workshops. We are grateful to our generous funders for enabling us to reach this fantastic milestone.

We deliver our Money Workshops across the UK to 11–19-year-olds in a wide range of settings including schools, colleges, community groups, Pupil Referral Units, and via charities. We offer pick and mix modules covering all sorts of topics from budgeting to pensions and credit to reading a pay slip, and lots in between. The workshops can be delivered face to face or virtually and are interactive and engaging.

We are currently writing and piloting new workshop content and are excited to launch our updated and even more engaging Money Workshops in September. They will take teams of young people through a journey of the kinds of financial decisions they will need to make as adults, with discussion and debate along the way.

New Activity Based Workshops for young people with SEN

We recently launched our new Activity Based workshops for groups of young people with Special Educational Needs.

Uni Money Workshops

We offer virtual and face to face workshops specifically designed for undergraduate university students. For many young people, being a student is the first time that they become financially independent, so it’s a vital time to ensure they have all the information and confidence to feel like they can stay on top of their money.

Student Money Manual

Our 2023/24 version of our digital guide to everything you need to know about money whilst at uni is available online, for free. It’s ideal for Post-16 students thinking about going to uni, as well as those who are already there.

Teacher Resource Packs

Our ‘lessons in a box’ contain all the resources and instructions a teacher needs to deliver a financial education lesson without having to do the prep themselves. Packs are available for free to schools to download, and include topics such as insurance, budgeting, saving, renting, mortgages and credit.

Consultancy services

As experts in delivering engaging and impactful financial education, we help all sorts of organisations develop content, resources and training to enable them to deliver financial education themselves. We work with large corporates, publishers, other charities, and many more to help them to ensure that their products and services are of a high quality.
