Financial Education

Scarborough has launched a schools programme to equip members of the future generation to manage their finances effectively for a more stable future.

Working with the North Yorkshire Business Education Partnership (NYBEP) , we have compiled a set of workshops and teachers' notes, which our employees are set to present side-by-side with school staff.

To accompany the workshops, we have also developed a funky, interactive computer game called Young Finance Manager, which aims to prepare youngsters for 'real world' finances in a fun way.

These educational resources, including Young Finance Manager, are also available to download by both teachers and parents across the country who need a little help in passing on some financial good sense. Please click the link below to find out more about the Young Finance Manager game and to download a copy for yourself.

In addition to this proactive educational initiative, we have a number of long term partnerships with Scarborough schools. For George Pindar Community Sports College, we have sponsored the purchase of sports kits for every pupil, and our three-year sponsorship agreement with Graham School Science College is enabling them to purchase two interactive whiteboards per year.

Through our unique Family Saver product, we also give £1 for every account opened at our Hull Branch to the Kingston upon Hull Children's University , to support the creation and delivery of an after-school-hours personal finance education module to pupils of one local school each year.
