For our hybrid November 2022 forum event we focused on the role of financial education in preparing young people for the future.
We heard from a range of forum members, including the Money and Pensions Service, MyBnk, and the The Money Charity, about their views on this important topic. The forum event concluded with a facilitated discussion about the opportunities of and barriers to financial education, during which attendees were given the opportunity to ask questions and contribute their thoughts.

If you are an existing Financial Education Forum member, you should have received an email with details of the next Financial Education Forum meeting. If you did not receive this email, please contact us.
Each year we provide opportunities for Forum Members to network and share updates on the work they are doing in the financial education space.
We hold two Forum Meetings every year, where we hear from a range of speakers about new programmes and policies affecting financial education. The programme for each meeting is varied and can range from education policy updates, to the latest research findings or information about new Quality Marked financial education resources. Throughout the year, we also give members the opportunity to provide updates on the work they are doing throughout the year, which can all be found on our member updates page.
Member organisations may be approached to host a Forum meeting where appropriate. Recent meetings have been hosted by the Bank of England, the London Institute of Banking and Finance and RBS NatWest.
