Lifesavers aims to help children manage money wisely- and
supports the whole family to learn about money together. Through practical
experience of handling money at the savings club, classroom teaching, and
resources for assemblies about money, LifeSavers really is a ‘whole school’
programme of financial education.
We want to see a generation of children grow up with
financial resilience and the skills to deal with their money, whatever life
throws at them. With evidence suggesting that children develop lifelong money
habits at the age of seven, starting a savings habit early is an amazing way to
improve their chances of success.School savings clubs, powered by the local Tynedale Community Bank will set our children and young people in good stead for the years as they learn that a little bit of saving, regularly can soon build up and they can reach their goals.
Lifesavers also acknowledges that children learn from both
home and school, so they also support schools to help parents and carers too
around money and how to help their children learn
The programme is currently running in 120 schools across the
UK, with funding available to offer it FREE to a limited number of schools in
Tynedale and Northumberland. LifeSavers
works in partnership with Tynedale Community Bank, and delivered by Young
Enterprise, the UK’s leading financial and enterprise education school charity.Find out more, and access online teaching resources here: http://www.lifesavers.co.uk/teachertraining/
