Building a Future of Financial Wellbeing
Financial education is essential. Your support makes it possible.
Too many young people leave school without the financial skills they need to thrive. Many don’t access financial education until secondary school—far too late. At the same time, families and schools face growing financial pressures, and teachers often lack the tools or training to teach money skills with confidence.
At Just Finance Foundation, we are changing this. We are training teachers, providing classroom resources and demonstrating the benefits of quality financial education. We’re working with educators, partners and businesses to ensure no child misses out.

Looking Ahead to 2026
Our three-year strategy to 2027 underpins our ambition for every child to enjoy lifelong financial wellbeing. To make that a reality, we're focusing on three key areas:
Support schools to teach money. We're helping school leaders and teachers prepare for the new curriculum in England with compulsory financial education, so every child receives the best possible financial education sooner.
Help families and communities talk about money. We're launching new financial education activities for carers and youth workers to encourage money learning in everyday life.
Grow funding for financial education. We're building new partnerships and growing our fundraising income to make sure financial education stays free, unbiased and accessible.
