FT FLIC is convinced that universal financial education is needed to overcome these challenges. We offer a full, downloadable curriculum for secondary school students and we have developed free foundational financial education resources for adults to help them manage their money.

FT FLIC will promote financial literacy where it is needed most to have significant, sustainable societal impact.

The charity will work at the grassroots level but will also seek to influence the macro policy while building a platform of homegrown and partner content that can be leveraged globally for maximum effect.

Financial resilience can be boosted enormously by understanding how money works in everyday life. Our initial focus will be on the UK, though we aim to expand globally over time. The wealth gap in the UK and around the world has been widened by the Covid pandemic, exacerbating deprivation for many, adding to the challenges facing young people and weighing disproportionately on women.
