English, maths, history, music, geography, art, science... all topics we expect our young people to be learning about throughout their time at school. But what about money?

As a mutual society, we exist to improve the communities we operate in. Aside from being a trusted provider of savings and mortgages, we have a responsibility to educate the savers and borrowers of tomorrow, ensuring that they feel confident to manage their money when they become adults.

As teachers it is sometimes difficult to talk with confidence about current financial issues. Having someone with such extensive knowledge and confident delivery is great.
