Financial Education
In a bid to help young people build their financial confidence and learn how to manage their money from an early age, we have partnered with skills educator FutureJam to deliver a financial literacy programme to primary schools.
FutureJam, a community interest company, delivers interactive ‘MoneyJam’ workshops to pupils aged 7 to 11 with the aim of setting young people up for success in their later lives.
The Cumberland is sponsoring the delivery of 60 workshops in 30+ primary schools located in and around its branch communities, with each school receiving 2 sessions.
The aim is to help children build confidence in understanding money, making choices and developing positive financial habits. There will also be six parent financial literacy sessions and 16 teacher training sessions.
