The programme

Money for Life is Lloyds Banking Group’s award-winning personal money management programme, targeted at young people and adults in the wider Further Education, work-based learning and community learning sectors.

At a time of economic uncertainty and pressure on household budgets in the UK, it’s more important than ever for people to gain skills to manage their money and make the best choices now, and for their future. Money management is about having the knowledge, skills, confidence and motivation to manage your money well.

Qualifications

Money for Life provides three accredited, fully-funded training qualifications to give teaching staff and community leaders the confidence and knowledge to deliver money management sessions in communities:

• Teach Me: An online course to improve knowledge on a range of topics to enable participants to run money management workshops
• Teach Others: A two day course which enables those who are not qualified teachers – such as community or advice workers – to gain the teaching skills to run money management workshops
• Money Mentors: A two day course that gives college staff and community workers the knowledge and mentoring skills required to give much needed one-to-one money management support
