CHARITY PARTNER
This year, The Investment Association is working with the Just Finance Foundation, our charity partner who shares our vision for financially resilient communities where every child learns the knowledge and skills to manage money wisely.
Sarah Wallace, Director of Programmes & Innovation at JFF, tells us how their financial education programmes will bring us closer to a financially resilient future.
By 2030, we want to see that the reach and impact of financial education is improving – especially during the critical early years of childhood development.
We are starting with early years education because we know that essential money habits are formed by age 7 – and waiting till secondary school to introduce financial literacy is simply too late. We also know that access to financial education is not equal. A recent study from UCL highlights that the financial skills of children living in disadvantaged communities are ‘years behind’ children living in advantaged communities .
We work directly with schools, families and communities to address these gaps and give every child an equal baseline understanding of money, regardless of their personal circumstances. This provides the essential foundation children need to become adults with the knowledge, skills and values to manage money wisely. The strong commitment and voice of corporate partners like you is what enables us to continue this essential work.
According to a recent report from Money and Pensions Service (MaPS), our Milo’s Money programme improves how teachers introduce financial education to young children, with positive impact for the wider community as they continue to grow.
