This gives thousands of school children access to a life-changing financial literacy programme – giving them the skills, knowledge and confidence they need to be able to make the right financial decisions and manage their money well.

Schools are becoming beacons of best practice in teaching children and young people about money and making a significant and lasting impact on their local communities.

Our ‘Centre of Excellence’ programme has incorporated VMM into the school financial education lessons and is estimated to have reached around 21,000 children.

Our analytics shows a steady increase in the use of the website.

We are building further relationships with key media sources around the UK to promote the use of VMM, along with a revised marketing strategy to explore other opportunities i.e. social media campaigns which will increase our overall engagement.

The resource includes a wide range of supporting materials, including fact sheets, quizzes, exercises and games all designed to engage the children and bring the content to life.

Aimed at Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 pupils, activities are related back to relevant curriculum links and a curriculum assessment schedule helps fit the resources into lesson planning and evaluate their impact.

From saving up for a pet, to supporting a school charity, through to understanding what their parents’ taxes pay for, Values, Money and Me brings to life for children the world of money and how it affects them and others – and, importantly, how they can take responsibility for managing money.
