Our branches and head office have been spreading some festive cheer through the annual donations to our ten charity partners.
We are passionate about giving children the right skills to develop solid-long term money habits.
We launched our Junior Newbury Building Society (JNBS for short!) scheme in 2008. JNBS supports the school curriculum by helping teach children in local schools about saving and spending in a fun, accessible way.
The scheme consists of a series of activities and projects desgined to teach children about saving through opening their own branch within the school. Role play, such as encouraging children to understand the role of a cashier, teaches the mechanics of a savings account in a fun and interactive way.
The scheme is completely free to take part in, and support is provided to teachers and children by Society colleagues from a local branch.
If you would like to find out more about our JNBS scheme or register your interest, please email us at marketing@newbury.co.uk. Alternatively, visit your local branch and speak to one of our branch colleagues.
Junior Newbury Building Society has been designed to teach young people aged between 7 and 11 in the local area about money, as well as the importance of good savings habits. Through this financial education initiative we're able to give back to our local communities, which fits with our purpose - ‘We exist to help our members build sustainable futures'.
