My Money Week
The first ever My Money Week took place in 2009, many thanks to all those who took part, and was followed by 2010's successful week which took place from Monday 28 June to Sunday 4 July 2010. The week brings schools and their local communities together to learn more about managing money in a practical and relevant way.
What is My Money Week?
The week provides a nationwide focus on financial capability for young people in primary and secondary schools throughout England, offering schools a flexible framework of options and resources to inspire students and teachers to get to grips with the practicalities of personal finance education.
