Financial Capability Programme

The programme is intended to help address poor levels of financial capability across the UK, helping people become more informed about their financial needs and building the long-term capacity of community organisations to provide financial education. We work in partnership with existing, trusted, organisations who can deliver front-line training to adults and children.

The organisations we work with are:

Prudential has worked with CAB since 2002, helping them to develop the capacity of Citizens Advice Bureaux across England to offer financial education services. We fund their central Financial Capability Team and we are also their key partner on their Financial Skills for Life programme.

Prudential has supported SSAT in the development of an interactive schools resource, which teaches financial capability and its functional application. The resource, 'Adding Up to a Lifetime' has been used in English schools since late 2006. Adapted versions have also been produced for Scotland, which have been disseminated by Learning and Teaching Scotland, and for Northern Ireland, disseminated by CEEA.
