Young People And Money

The Financial Services Authority (FSA) is committed to building financial capability in the UK. As part of their national strategy they are funding Young People and Money, a free training programme developed specifically for those working with young people that are either not in education, employment or training (NEET) or at risk of being 'NEET'.

Managed by LifeLine, Young People and Money is being delivered across the UK by A4e, Citizens Advice, Fairbridge and LifeLine - organisations with excellent track records in reaching young people in the 'NEET' group. The programme aims to train 20,000 people working with 'NEET' young people by 2010.

Do you work with 'NEET' young people?

If so, Young People and Money can help by equipping you with the skills and knowledge to support them in becoming financially capable.
