What do I get if I sign up to LifeSavers?

LifeSavers is a financial education programme for primary schools. We pride ourselves on quality resources and providing the opportunity to support schools in embedding these into their planning FREE of charge.

You will get:

  • Free resources for financial education

  • A values based approach to financial education that provides good links into the PSHE curriculum

  • Support from an experienced and dedicated team

  • The opportunity to have CPD training for your staff in delivering financial education

  • Support in setting up a savings club within your school

So how is Lifesavers different to other Financial Literacy programmes?

Lifesavers provides a more personal approach to our financial education programme - basically you will always know that you can get hold of one of the team rather than being passed around a large staff team.

We focus our resources on our core values:

  • Generosity

  • Wisdom

  • Thankfulness

  • Justice

This provides a solid morals based approach to learning the key skills you need to manage money effectively.

Our Savings club is another unique offering. We help schools make links with a financial provider so they can set up a mini bank in school, providing the opportunity for students to save all on their own that they might otherwise not have had the opportunity to do.

We set schools up with the training and software they need to be able to do this and are available to talk them through it as they take their first steps. Our most successful schools have hundreds of savers and some have saved thousands of pounds.

Why do we have to formally sign up with Lifesavers if it’s free? Is there a catch?

To keep LifeSavers free we are funded by various groups and organisations. In return for the funding they like to know that our programme has had a positive effect on the community and the children it is used with. In order to provide them with some basic data to show our impact we need to know who is using the programme

It also allows us to know that you might need support and be able to help you!

There is no catch - we are just trying to keep our funders happy
