Sessions for Students

Give Your Students the Money Skills They Need in 2025

Our brand-new Financial Wellbeing Workshops are here to help your students gain the confidence and knowledge they need to manage their money. Our workshops are online and completely free of charge.

Funded by the Scottish Government, these engaging, jargon-free sessions are tailored for learners in further education, training, or just starting their careers. The need has never been greater: research from the Money and Pensions Service (MAPS, 2022) shows that fewer than half of young people have received meaningful financial education.

We know how challenging student life can be, especially when it comes to managing finances. That’s why our 2025 workshops are packed with practical, real-world advice your students can put into action straight away.

Topics:

Bank accounts, which is best for you? – A look at the different types of account available in the UK and what each of these accounts offers.
Buy Now Pay Later schemes – Currently unregulated by the FCA, we’ll discuss BNPL schemes and the impact they may have on finances.

Credit & Credit Reports – Discussion of the different credit products in the UK, as well as analysis of Credit Reports and how these impact our financial and professional lives.
Money & Work -
This session will look at the information on a wage slip, as well as salary deductions such as Income Tax & National Insurance. We’ll run through work related expenses which need to be considered. We will discuss the National Minimum Wage and National Living Wage, distinguishing between both. We will also provide an overview of basic employee rights as well as what should be done if employee rights are not being met.
Money Management & making your money stretch - A look at how we can budget our money effectively, as well as minimise our expenditure.

Digital Money & Scams – A discussion around how to keep our digital money safe, as well as what scams to watch out for.
