Developing good financial habits early.
24th May 2017
YBS Group have announced that they are expanding the reach of its financial literacy programme, Money Minds, focusing in particular on reaching children and young adults in schools between the ages of 5 to 19 by delivering voluntary session to help teachers meet the need to improve young people’s financial education.
Jonathan Watts-Lay, Director, WEALTH at work, a leading provider of financial education, guidance and advice in the workplace comments; “Learning how to manage money is an important life skill, developing good financial habits early on can lay the foundations for financial security in the future. By delivering financial education into schools and universities, more people are able to learn the basic principles of money management at a younger age, which will benefit them not only in the early years of adulthood but also throughout their career and later on in life.”
Watts-Lay continues; “As well as understanding fundamental topics such as bank statements, over drafts and loans, financial education can help individuals set and achieve their financial goals, including learning how to build a personal savings plan – all in order to support their short, medium and long term savings goals; whether that be saving for a first home or to generate income in retirement.”
WEALTH at work has recently teamed up with YBS Share Plans to offer its corporate clients access to financial education in the workplace. To find out more about this please click here.
