Pupils from The Downs School in Compton recently got stuck into financial education workshops delivered by WizeUp, in partnership with the Society.
English, maths, history, music, geography, art, science... all critical topics we’d expect our young people to be learning about throughout their time at school. But what about money?
As a mutual society, we exist to improve the communities in which we operate. Aside from being a trusted provider of savings and mortgages, we have a responsibility to support and educate the savers and borrowers of tomorrow, ensuring that they feel confident to make important financial decisions and manage their money when they become adults.
We work with local schools in and around our branch towns in Berkshire, Hampshire, and Oxfordshire to offer a range of financial education initiatives. These include:
Our flagship primary school scheme, Junior Newbury Building Society
Virtual and in-person classroom sessions in secondary schools with registered charity, WizeUp Financial Education
Volunteering at local careers fairs, promoting different careers in the financial services sector.
Email marketing@newbury.co.uk to tell us about it.
JNBS is our flagship financial education project for children aged 7-11, which we run in partnership with local primary schools.
