Our work with government and policy makers and the work of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Financial Education for Young People resulted in the addition of financial education to the curriculum of every secondary school.
We work with parliamentarians and the civil service to ensure that financial education is raised frequently in the House of Commons – working with individual parliamentarians, Select Committees and All Party Parliamentary Groups providing information and briefings for debates and parliamentary questions.
Young Money (formerly pfeg) provides the secretariat for the popular All Party Parliamentary Group on Financial Education for Young People. The group currently chaired by Julian Knight MP, launched in January 2011.
