The
LifeSavers programme is a free financial education initiative available for primary schools, SEND and Alternative provision settings. Delivered by the Just Finance Foundation, LifeSavers has been created to help children manage money wisely now and in the
future.
We’re providing free training and resources that equip teachers to deliver money lessons, and keep children engaged in healthy money habits. JFF is fortunate to partner with generous funders who contribute funds, resources and expertise that helps us continue
to provide high quality financial education at no cost to schools.
What’s available?
- 5 Big Questions about money – whole school resources, lesson activities and assembly plans to promote meaningful conversations about money.
- Milo’s money – a beautifully illustrated storybook complete with Milo the Dino soft toy. Supplementary resources available for EYFS and KS1.
- Conversation Cards – Designed to engage students in meaningful discussions about money.
- Money Adventures Game – A flexible game that can be played with or without IT equipment and even gets students moving around!
- ‘Tuff’ Milo Book – a more robust version of our Milos money storybook.
Benefits
The LifeSavers programme helps to reinforce positive attitudes and behaviours in relation to money from a young age. Research shows that habits and attitudes around money are being formed before the age of 7. That’s why LifeSavers encourages children to
develop a wise, generous, just, and thankful attitude to money, contributing towards their character development and future life chances.
“Developed in consultation with education experts, the LifeSavers resources align with the national curriculum and focus on improving numeracy and critical thinking, as well as key money concepts. Created by teachers for teachers, we keep expanding our resources
to support schools and reach more children of all backgrounds and abilities. These resources include cross-curricular activities for Maths, PHSE, English and Drama, and innovative research projects dedicated to making financial education accessible to more
children
