Mariner Finance’s Post

JFF welcomes news from the Financial Conduct Authority today: millions in dormant funds have been unlocked for charities and social enterprises by expanding the Dormant Assets Scheme to include unclaimed client money and investments. We are calling for this funding to support financial education for children across the UK. Less than half currently receive a meaningful financial education at home or at school. All children deserve an equal opportunity to learn the financial skills they need to thrive as adults. We are currently providing financial education support to 338 primary schools reaching 90,710 children through our LifeSavers programme. Sustainable funding is essential to expanding this work and helping more children become adults who can confidently make informed financial decisions.
