Financial Education
Learning how to manage money is a valuable life skill, and so far we've helped more than 21,000 young people with their financial education. Whether you're a parent, a teacher, a little learner, or an adult looking to upskill - there are lots of ways we can help.
For young learners
Dylan the dragon makes learning about money and saving fun for children aged 5-11. Dylan even has a Teacher's hub with a whole host of free resources and helpful teaching tools. Access free games and resources in Dylan’s Hub or download the Dylan’s Den app to spend even more time learning with Dylan on-the-go.
We’re proud to work with Young Enterprise on the Fiver Challenge – giving primary school children a fun opportunity to develop their entrepreneurial skills. Starting with just one £5 note, children aged 5 - 11 create, research and plan their very own business. For more information including a free activity book and top tips for pupils and parents visit the Fiver Challenge website.
Together with leading Science Discovery Centre Xplore!, we deliver financial education programs across North Wales, Chester and Shrewsbury sharing interactive and engaging money management lessons.

For older learners
In 2022 we worked in partnership with the London Institute of Banking & Finance to provide a qualification fund of £100,000.
The fund helps schools and learning centres across Wales and the Borders, and through it over 3,000 students at more than 50 schools have sat recognised financial education qualifications.
