From 2028, financial literacy will officially become part of the UK school curriculum; a milestone moment that recognises how essential money skills are for navigating modern life.
But at Aldermore, we believe the need is too important to wait. Financial confidence shapes the choices people make every day, from saving for the future to buying a home, starting a business, or building long-term security.
That’s why we’re already working to make financial education accessible to more young people across the UK.
Understanding money and the economy isn’t just a life skill, it’s a foundation for independence. When people have the confidence to budget, save, invest, and plan ahead, they gain the freedom to pursue goals that might otherwise feel out of reach. Yet many young people enter adulthood without these essential tools.
We want to change that.
At Aldermore, our purpose is simple: backing people to go for it in life and business. Financial education is one of the most powerful ways to help people do exactly that. By partnering with organisations that share our mission, we’re helping to build a future where financial literacy is not a barrier but a springboard.
For the past three years, we’ve proudly partnered with The Money Charity, the UK’s leading financial wellbeing charity. Their mission aligns closely with ours, empowering people to take control of their finances and develop lifelong healthy money habits.
Through engaging workshops, hands-on activities, and relatable real-world examples, The Money Charity brings money matters to life. With topics covering saving, budgeting, credit and debt, student finance, tax, payslips, and even how to spot scams, their sessions make finance accessible, practical and genuinely enjoyable.
Over the last year alone, our partnership helped the charity reach more than 2,500 people, delivering 143 hours of workshops. Of these, 65 hours supported disadvantaged young people with identified vulnerabilities, with workshops delivered in schools, colleges, pupil referral units, young carers’ organisations and youth groups. The impact speaks for itself:
This year, through our broader education initiatives, we’ve also reached 1,933 students across 27 schools in the UK, delivering 568 hours of learning and 88 kick-starter sessions in saving, investing, and planning for the future. Each of these moments helps build the financial understanding that can shape a young person’s future choices.
We know that financial wellbeing doesn’t happen by accident, it starts with knowledge, builds through confidence and grows through opportunity.
By supporting The Money Charity and other like-minded organisations, we’re helping to ensure more people have access to trusted guidance and practical tools that can make a real difference today, tomorrow and for years to come.
Financial education gives people the power to make decisions that support their life goals. And at Aldermore, we’re committed to being there for the next step too.
Whether someone is saving for tomorrow, building security for their family, growing a business or setting ambitious plans into motion, we’re here to back them.
Our savings products are designed to support people at every stage:
We’ll continue backing people to go for it, in classrooms, in communities, and in their everyday financial journeys. Because financial confidence starts with understanding, and with the right support, everyone can build a future they feel proud of.
