We deliver quality financial education   

At Just Finance Foundation, we deliver meaningful financial education

At Just Finance Foundation, we believe that learning about money should be an every day part of growing up. We work with educators and partners across the UK to make meaningful financial education accessible in schools, youth centres and beyond.

Our expert financial education team provides ongoing support to schools and educators across the UK. In 2025 alone, 135,809 children had greater opportunity to build essential money skills thanks to our financial education programmes.

Financial education isn’t only developed in the classroom. It is also reinforced at home, shaped by community attitudes and influenced by national policy. That’s why we also empower families with the confidence to talk about money, and advocate for government and business to invest in financial education.

Support for trainee teachers

Teachers play a vital role in shaping children’s learning. But they need to be supported with quality tools and training to teach financial education with confidence. That’s why we help trainee teachers build confidence and best practices for delivering financial education in primary schools.

We work closely with universities to integrate financial education training into existing teacher training programs, ensuring it aligns with the national curriculum. Our free Trainee Teacher Hub provides essential resources, engaging classroom activities, tailored teacher training, and ongoing support from our expert Education Team.

Youth centre partnerships

We’re working with youth centres to explore how financial education can become part of everyday youth work and conversations with young people.

Building on our initial pilot with 224 Youth Zone in Bristol, we’relooking for more youth centres to help us build on what we’ve learned and shape the future of financial education in youth settings.

How do we make a lasting difference?

We put the future financial wellbeing of children and young people at the heart of everything we do. We work closely with expert teachers and school staff to make sure we provide inclusive financial education that meets the learning needs of every child.

Our three-year strategy aims to increase our support for families and communities to support financial education at home. Our ambition is to grow our work, deepen our impact and raise more funds to reach as many children and young people as possible across the UK.

Thanks to the support of our generous funders, our financial education programmes have been delivered at no cost to over 600 primary schools since 2017.
