MyBnk is a UK wide charity that delivers expert-led financial education programmes to 5–25-year-olds. Our mission is to empower young people to take charge of their future by bringing money to life through innovative, high impact and energetic programmes. We deliver to anyone but maintain a focus on those in need. This means we try and target:
School children with low financial capability – who need help most.
* Young adults in the greatest need – those who cannot afford mistakes.
Our research shows that the best time to make a difference is:
* With the very young and when habits are set.
* Aged 11-16 when you are increasingly engaging with money and preparing for the future.
* All young adults entering independence who are making choices, now.
To deliver a range of dynamic and engaging financial education programmes to young people, young adults, and professionals in a variety of settings; some of which belong to MyBnk but others where you will be a visitor.
