What more can be done to improve financial capability in young people?

In November 2021, Young Enterprise hosted a conversation between the founder of MoneySavingExpert.com and long-time support of Young Money, Martin Lewis OBE, Oli Barrett and a cross-sector panel made up of industry experts. During their conversation, they considered the impact financial education can have on building a young person’s enterprising mindset, why we must support young people in becoming more financially capable, and how financial education can progress social mobility.

Where we work

REACHING 482,000+ STUDENTS ANNUALLY

In 2018/19, we reached 482,000+ young people across the UK, helping them to develop their business, financial and entrepreneurial capabilities.

COMMUNITY OF 4 MILLION+ ALUMNI

Since 1962, we have worked with both the business and education sectors to engage over four million young people. We believe in the power of ‘learning by doing’ and the difference that it has made and continues to make to the lives, futures and ambitions of young people.

WORKING WITH 57% OF SCHOOLS IN AREAS OF DEPRIVATION

We are committed to increasing our engagement in deprived areas. In 2018/19 we worked with 57% of secondary schools in the 30% most deprived areas in England and Wales. This remains a key priority.

SUPPORTED BY 6,000+ BUSINESS VOLUNTEERS

Engagement of volunteers from industry and business is a vital ingredient in helping young people develop the confidence and knowledge to start work, and to gain an understanding of the skills and attitudes valued by employers.
