Content
A highly interactive financial education programme covering practical and relevant everyday financial matters.
These sessions are designed to get young people thinking and caring about their finances, both now and in their short and long-term futures.
Sessions cover:
- Session 1: Minimum wage, payslips, national insurance, tax, government spending, household costs, insurance, needs and wants, lifestyle choices, budgeting, unexpected costs, and savings.
- Session 2: Pensions, auto enrolment, investments, stocks and shares/cash ISAs, risk and saving, Interest, borrowing, credit and debt, and fraud and scams.
Money Twist approaches financial capability in a hands-on manner as young people play games and include physical activity in their learning. Each session is structured to look at where young people get money, what they do with it and why it matters.
Participants are encouraged to give their own views and critically analyse various financial problems that young people and adults are faced with, as well as considering their own financial futures.
Money Twist has been evaluated and proven by The Money Advice Service’s Evidence Hub. This programme also won Children & Young People Now’s Financial Capability Award 2010!
