This month were delighted to work with our friends at AllianceBernstein's Family Network to run a financial education event for 30 children and their parents and guardians from across the AB team.   Children worked with their parents to complete an engaging set of financial education activities, supported by our staff. The event was designed to help children to start building their thoughts and feelings about money as well as their skills and knowledge. We had some great conversations with both children and parents, and a lot of fun!   Thank you to AllianceBernstein, a valued partner and supporter in our mission to ensure that every child has an equal opportunity to thrive.

🌞 Bank holiday weekend: tips for teaching children about money For those looking forward to a bank holiday, it’s a great time to consider how we can use these moments to instil valuable lessons in our children. With spending likely to increase this weekend, why not turn this into a teaching moment? Regular conversations about money can help children build confidence and develop lifelong financial skills. Here are 3 tips for introducing money talk to your children this weekend: ✅ Start early. By the age of 7, children have already started developing attitudes and habits around money. With young children, you can discuss the difference between wants and needs, helping them understand what is most important. ✅ Share your decision-making. Explain how you choose where to spend money over the bank holiday. Encourage your children to participate in decisions on where to save and where to spend. ✅ Talk about how money makes us feel. Discuss the emotions tied to spending and saving, whether it’s the joy of buying something new or the satisfaction of saving for something meaningful. Understanding these feelings helps children build healthy financial habits. 💬 Start the conversation this weekend and equip your children with the tools they need for a confident financial future. #FinancialLiteracy #Parenting #BankHoliday

JFF welcomes news from the Financial Conduct Authority today: millions in dormant funds have been unlocked for charities and social enterprises by expanding the Dormant Assets Scheme to include unclaimed client money and investments. We are calling for this funding to support financial education for children across the UK. Less than half currently receive a meaningful financial education at home or at school. All children deserve an equal opportunity to learn the financial skills they need to thrive as adults. We are currently providing financial education support to 338 primary schools reaching 90,710 children through our LifeSavers programme. Sustainable funding is essential to expanding this work and helping more children become adults who can confidently make informed financial decisions.
