Raise

The Raise Web App for 14–19 year-olds, is fully interactive, gamified and has elements of simulation of a virtual journey spanning the next forty years of their lives. Along this journey, students will be shown how saving and investing long-term could help them achieve a better and more secure financial future. They have goals to achieve, financial decisions to make, and scenarios to explore.

The Teacher Support Guides can be downloaded above and look at ‘Investing’, ‘Saving’ and ‘Values’ which explore saving strategies (including Savings Accounts), making financial decisions and values of money. The resources also include a ‘Child Trust Fund Guide’ young people who were born in the UK from 1st September 2002 (up to 2nd January 2011) qualify for a Child Trust Fund which they can access at 18. This gives them an exciting opportunity to save and invest for their future, so check the guide for more information on this.
