Safe & Sensible Spending with Barclays LifeSkills

Online 23rd Sep 9.30am-10.15am Free

Developing young people’s core transferable skills gives them the tools to manage money, understand risk and build good financial habits throughout their life. Through LifeSkills sessions we introduce aspects of finance from an early age (primary) and encourage young people to explore mathematical concepts through real world examples. Financial education is important to help young people build their knowledge for future financial wellbeing.

By the end of this activity pupils will be able to:

  • Make simple choices based on value for money when purchasing
  • Recognise the need for planning for the future and saving money
  • Understand how to keep money safe
  • Become aware of scams and fraud and know some ways to protect themselves from it

Suitable for age 8 - 12 years. Glow access required.

Free, but booking required. To take part, sign up via the link below. Once you have registered, you will be added to a Teams channel where the session links to join will be posted.
