Before you get money, you need to 'get' money
Nearly half of adults in the UK lack confidence when managing their finances. That's why we're on a mission to ensure individuals have a better understanding of money.
We work with schools and charities to teach financial skills to thousands of young people across the UK.
And we've teamed up with leading youth groups to help young people develop money skills they can take into adult life.

Financial education sessions
HSBC UK Education Programme
If you are interested in running financial education sessions, you can nominate your school, youth group or charity. The education programme can be tailored to focus on specific age groups and needs so that you can get the most from each session.
Our partnerships
Money Heroes
Parents and teachers play a key role in a child’s development. That’s why we support Money Heroes, which teaches children aged 3 to 11 about financial education both at home and in the classroom.
Scouts
With our support, The Scout Association has created a new Money Skills Activity Badge. This will help Beaver and Cub Scouts build confidence and an understanding of money, in a fun, hands-on way.
Girlguiding
We've teamed up with Girlguiding to create activities and the Money Skills – I'm Money Confident badge. These will help Rainbows, Brownies, Guides and Rangers build their confidence with money.
King's Trust
Our long partnership with the King's Trust (previously the Prince's Trust) helps young people aged 14 or over to learn about money. They will also develop life skills that will help them into education, training or work.
Duke of Edinburgh's Award
We've worked with DofE to develop a Smart Money skills programme for young people aged 14 to 24. Bronze and silver learners can learn about banking, budgeting, saving and how to take charge of their money.
#Merky Books
We've joined up with #Merky Books, the publishing imprint founded by Penguin Random House and Stormzy, to bring inspiring authors into schools. Together we're empowering the next generation with the financial education they need to succeed.
