Young People and Money programme

Young People and Money logo

Young People and Money was a free, national training programme aimed at agencies who work with young people not in education, employment or training (NEET). It was funded by the Consumer Financial Education Body (now the Money Advice Service) for three years and ended April 2011.  

Three organisations, A4e, Fairbridge and Lifeline delivered the training to agencies across England and Wales. Each course included an afternoon slot for someone from a local Citizens Advice Bureau to come and talk about the debt advice process and the local services available. Between January 2008 and April 2011, More than 200 bureaux took part in over 500 sessions.

We also produced a set of materials that were given to course participants.

Financial capability guide – Essential information to support young people is aimed at front-line workers that work with young people. It helps them build their confidence at helping young people with money issues providing essential information on topics such as budgeting, banking, saving, credit and debt.
