At a glance

  • Suitable for students 4-18
  • New free resources available each year in the Summer term
  • Great way to get started delivering financial education
  • Activity week to engage the whole school

My Money Week aims to get children and young people aged 4–18 excited and interested in financial matters. It’s a great introduction for educators who are new to financial education and each year it provides brand new resources, materials and ideas for those already teaching it.

Students will become explorers as they discover how money moves through their local community. They’ll explore their wants and needs, learn about local businesses and jobs, and find out how public services support everyday life.

By the end of the week, students will use their discoveries to create an idea that solves a real want or need in their community.

Our My Money Week Map guides the journey, with simple daily activities you can run in the classroom, around your local area, and at home. You’ll also find assembly guides and family-friendly activities to keep the learning going beyond the classroom.

Resources from My Money Week 2025 and previous years are available to download from the My Money Week Resource Hub (now in both English and Welsh)!

My Money Week 2026 is from the 15th - 21st June 2026.

“The students thoroughly enjoyed it ‘til the stage they were like, ‘when can we do some more?’, and it was great because it was followed on by our school’s Enterprise Day where they got to spend money and budget, so it lent itself really nicely to building on the skills that they had learnt from that week and just seeing their confidence was incredible
