In an increasingly complex world, it’s now more important than ever that children have the knowledge and ability to make informed decisions about money. Financial Wellbeing is a core life skill and here at Bank of Ireland UK we want to help play our part in enabling children of all ages to begin to understand about all things money so that they can take charge of their own financial future.
Youth Financial Wellbeing
The aim of our youth Financial Wellbeing programme is to introduce the basics of Financial Wellbeing to children so that they are set up with good money habits for life. The programme is completely free and covers topics like the Evolution of Money, Needs and Wants, Savings and Spending, and Budgeting and Planning.
To help support your delivery in the classroom, we have created this programme featuring our hero, Ollie the Owl. He helps children learn about the basics of Financial Wellbeing, as they follow him on his journey of discovery about money. The programme provided is a printed pack and a version for download, split into six easy-to-follow money lessons. Each lesson is divided into stories, activities and interesting facts, so that children have opportunities to discuss, reflect and learn. The programme can be used throughout the school year to support the primary curriculum.
