Join our network of volunteers helping to embed financial education in schools across the UK
The issue
The complexity of the financial landscape leaves people vulnerable to financial exploitation. For millions in the UK, that can mean debt, stress and poverty – where financial freedom seems out of reach.
Our work
FT FLIC is convinced that universal financial education is needed to overcome these challenges. We offer a full, downloadable curriculum for secondary school students and we’re developing free foundational financial education resources for adults to help them manage their money.
Our impact
We know financial education works: young people receiving our lessons year-on-year consistently demonstrate higher financial confidence and skills. Democratising financial education means equipping everyone with the knowledge that provides choices, options and a fair chance to escape poverty for good.
We’re accredited by the PSHE Association & NASEN

Celebrating Carers During National Carers Week: Supporting Financial Wellbeing
To mark National Carers Week (9th–14th June), FT FLIC is proud to spotlight our ongoing work to support the financial wellbeing of families and carers across the UK.
Last year we launched a new series of accessible and engaging learning resources designed to meet people where they are – online. Through creative collaborations with a diverse mix of content creators across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, we’re breaking down complex financial topics and offering trusted guidance to communities often underrepresented in traditional financial education.
As part of the campaign, we have produced a free downloadable highlighting financial support available for carers, created in partnership with Carers Trust and Turn2us. This easy-to-follow guide is packed with practical advice and support and it remains available to download.
FT FLIC curriculum wins The Money Awareness & Inclusion Awards
We are very proud to have been awarded the Money Awareness and Inclusion Award (MAIA) for Best School-age Financial Education Project in May 2024. The project we entered was our all-school financial literacy curriculum at City of London Academy Trust, Shoreditch Park.
The award win is a testament to our collaborative approach in working closely with teachers and financial experts to produce the curriculum. Our partners and supporters enable us to continue to deliver our work and break down the barriers to financial education for those who need it most.
