Money Skills

We're currently training HSBC volunteers across the UK on how to use their finance knowledge to deliver practical, fun and engaging sessions to young people.

Once trained, they'll be available to deliver Money Skills sessions to Beaver Colonies and Cub Packs around their local area. This could be a number of sessions or a standalone, depending on what you feel your young people would benefit from most.

HSBC volunteers will be made aware of the Beaver Colonies and Cub Packs in their area who've expressed an interest in receiving a Money Skills session. They'll then contact you to organise the session. 

Please note that although HSBC volunteers will be planning and delivering the session, it's important that a leader responsible for the young people is present at the time.

Beaver Colonies and Cub Packs that express an interest in a Money Skills session will be contacted by an HSBC volunteer in your area from the autumn term.

You'll then be able to arrange with the HSBC volunteer a suitable time for them to come to your group and deliver the session.

It’s a scientific fact that young people form money habits from a very early age.

For this reason, it’s important to help guide and teach young people about money, allowing them to form positive habits that they'll take with them throughout the rest of their lives.

Using carefully structured and practical activities, along with the expertise of HSBC volunteers, we can come together to make sure young people across the UK develop the best skills to help inform their future decisions.

By completing this badge, Beavers and Cubs will be learning money skills that will last them a lifetime.

As we're in the beginning stages of launching the programme, it's only Beaver Colonies and Cub Packs within the UK who'll initially have access to this opportunity.
