The Centre for Financial Capability
Our mission is to ensure every child in the UK has the opportunity to develop the skills and behaviours necessary to navigate critical financial decisions in their life -starting from primary school.
Financial Literacy Innovation Fund
As part of the Centre’s commitment to promoting further innovation in primary financial education, we have opened applications to our Financial Literacy Innovation Fund to support solutions which develop children’s financial literacy.
"Over the last year we've learned many things, but one of them is how important it is for people to have the information, the skills and the confidence to engage with their finances. The Centre for Financial Capability is a testament to the difference that can be made when financial services and the voluntary sectors join forces to improve financial education for children and young people, and I'm really looking forward to seeing what the Centre can achieve in the months ahead."
