My Money Week is a national activity week for primary and secondary schools that provides a fantastic opportunity for young people to gain the skills, knowledge and confidence in money matters to thrive in society. It’s the highest profile and most recognised personal finance education initiative in England.
My Money Week aims to get children and young people aged 3 – 19 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.
Last year’s #MyMoneyWeek theme was Mind Over Money – across the UK children explored risk and reward and learned how to make informed choices, manage their emotions, and how to ask for help and source advice when it comes to money matters.
Resources from My Money Week 2023 and previous years are available to download from the My Money Week Resource Hub (now in both English and Welsh)!
This year for the first time we created a primary community pinboard and a secondary community pinboard on Padlet with questions related to this year’s theme. Keep an eye out for how you can share with the My Money Week community next year
Note: To sign up to the My Money Week Resource Hub as a parent, please use your child’s school name and address in the Organisation Name and Organisation Address fields on the registration form, and select Parent/Home Educator under Organisation Type.

My Money Week has taken place year on year since 2009 meaning hundreds of thousands of young people have left school with a thorough understanding of personal finance, saving wisely, credit and debt, keeping money safe and how to budget.
99% of teachers have said that their students showed an increase in knowledge and skills as a result of using our My Money Week resources.
We have partnered with Santander and the University of Edinburgh Business School to conduct some research into the impact My Money Week has on financial education in schools, and on the knowledge, skills and confidence of students and teachers.
