About pfeg
Introduction

pfeg (Personal Finance Education Group) is the UK's leading finance education organisation helping schools to plan and teach financial capability relevant to students' lives and needs.

Our mission is to ensure that all young people leaving school have the confidence, skills and knowledge in financial matters to participate fully in society.

pfeg works collaboratively with teachers and school leadership teams to support them in planning and delivering financial capability which meets the needs of their school and their students. Our expert consults deliver bespoke services as we recognise that financial education does not conform to a 'one size fits all' philosophy. We know our approach works as more and more schools are coming to pfeg for free resources and support every day. pfeg also has a dialogue with government, opinion formers and key education bodies with the aim of influencing education and wider government policy - so that planned and coherent financial education becomes a reality in our schools.

Why we're here Who we work with How we help
pfeg was set up in 2000 in response to the lack of consistent financial education in schools and the financial complexities that today's young people will face growing up. Children and young people encounter money earlier and earlier from child trust funds to spending or saving their pocket money. On leaving schools student loans, becoming a wage earner and setting up home alone are just some of the issues they could face. To make sense of the options open to them in adult life and become responsible consumers children and young people need to learn to manage money - now.
