What Money Means
What Money Means - pfeg and HSBC launch a major new primary school financial education programme

What Money Means is a groundbreaking, five year project designed to create a step change in the way personal finance education is taught in primary schools.

Research* reveals that more than three quarters of 7-11 year olds are already saving, showing children are aware of money issues even at a very young age. What Money Means will help shape this basic awareness that children already have into a solid foundation for later life

What Money Means is funded by £3.4 million from HSBC which also expects 10,000 of its employees to volunteer through the project as part of the support schools receive.
