NTFC X COMMSAVE MONEY MATTERS PROJECT
Money is such a big part of everyday life & is something we have to learn to use effectively. When you leave school, college or university you will have a full time job & will have to manage your money in a variety of ways. Knowing how financial matters work is a really important skill & many adults don’t know about the key areas that they need to spend their money on. Being financially healthy is just like your physical & mental health. People need to build good habits in order to keep in good health.
Project supported by Commsave Credit Union
The primary school’s booklet is designed to teach you about 6 important aspects of money such as spending, saving & borrowing. The Secondary Schools booklet is designed to teach you about 7 important aspects of money and finance which include earning, budgeting & banking so that you understand and can build good habits. Helping you get a good start to being financially healthy in the future.
The resources focus on supporting children and young people aged 7 to 16 to improve their understanding of money with two different workbooks being created.
