Money Matters, and the games it includes, are designed to support your child’s Citizenship studies at school, especially:

• ‘becoming competent at managing personal money’
• ‘ using a range of financial tools and services, including budgeting and saving, in managing personal money’.

By using the website to learn about important aspects of personal finance, children will gain confidence in managing themselves and their lives.

At school, teachers of Citizenship Studies will use the site to support a more detailed lesson exploring the impact of good and bad personal finance – not just on the person concerned but on those around him or her. This idea is followed through right up to the massive budgets and financial management systems used to manage an entire country.

The impact of good and bad financial management on the environment is also explored – poor financial management can spell ruin for countries already on the edge of environmental disaster.

The support of educational projects is a core element of Alliance & Leicester community investment program. The bank supports a number of initiatives aimed at improving education generally and financial literacy in particular.

We value your feedback about this site and its content. Please open an email form to give you direct contact with our educational consultants.

Money Matters is developed by educational experts to meet the requirement of the National Grid for Learning and the Personal Finance Education Group.
