Bath Building Society

The importance of being able to withstand financial challenges and shocks has come to the fore in recent years, particularly during the cost of living crisis. Supporting the financial resilience of members and local communities is a key area of focus for building societies and credit unions. Financial education is a important tool in the journey to achieving financial resilience, particularly for young people. If we can encourage good habits and understanding early in life, they are much more likely to continue into adulthood. Bath Building Society has partnered with WizeUp Financial Education for over five years, delivering financial education workshops to local schools and sixth forms. In an article for the BSA, Emma Davis, DipPFS, Cert CII (FS) and Michael Flack share the highlights of this partnership and the work within the building society sector to widen the provision of financial education -https://lnkd.in/emUcfQQX #BuildingSocieties #FinancialInclusion #LifeSkills

💷 UK Savings Week with Bath Building Society 💷 Two weeks ago, WizeUp Financial Education partnered with Bath Building Society to deliver a day of financial literacy sessions at THREE WAYS SCHOOL. The topics covered included the Benefits of Working, Tax, Budgeting, and Saving. Led by Lee Giles, the programme was part of UK Savings Week, a crucial time in the calendar to teach students the importance of saving and the steps involved in opening a savings account. WizeUp has proudly worked with both Three Ways School and Bath Building Society for many years to deliver this valuable programme, and we were thrilled to do so again. During the session, students completed a series of WizeUp tasks before spending some of their earnings at our tuck shop. As an extra treat, Bath Building Society gifted each student with goodie bags, and together we presented the class with their first official "WizeUp with Bath Building Society Programme" certificate. We had an amazing day and would like to thank Bath Building Society for making it possible. A massive well done to all the students at Three Ways School—we look forward to returning soon!
