The power of money: breaking down barriers through applied financial education for young people

  • Purpose Coalition's Breaking Down Barriers Tent at Labour Party Conference 34 Kings Parade England, L3 4ER United Kingdom (map)

We know how important it is for young people to learn about money and how this can protect them from future financial harm. But financial education has little or no context if you do not have access to practical opportunities to use money in your everyday life. This event will explore the role of applied learning in boosting young people’s financial capability, increasing future productivity and breaking down the barriers to opportunity.

Speakers

  • Sally Wiliams, Chief of Staff, Wealth and Personal Banking at HSBC UK

  • Rachel Taylor, MP for North Warwickshire and Bedworth

  • Lord Walney, Chair

  • Sharon Davies, CEO of Young Enterprise

  • Tim Roca, MP for Macclesfield

  • Darcy Holmes, Scouts

Hosted by the Purpose Coalition, in partnership with Young Enterprise.

This event takes place in the Purpose Coalition’s Breaking Down Barriers Tent at Labour Party Conference, just next to the ACC and Pullman Hotel.
