Age-appropriate financial education designed to grow with your child.
Every programme we offer has been refined through years of direct experience with Belfast families. We've learned what captures attention at each age, what concepts stick, and what methods create lasting behavioural change around money.
For children aged 6-10, this programme uses storytelling, games, and tactile activities to introduce foundational concepts. Participants learn the difference between needs and wants through supermarket simulation games. They practice dividing pocket money using visual jar systems. They discover how waiting can lead to bigger rewards through our "patience pays" activities.
Sessions last 90 minutes and include take-home materials for parents to reinforce learning at home. We recommend a minimum of four sessions for meaningful habit formation.
Designed for the 11-14 age group, this programme addresses the unique financial challenges of early adolescence. Participants create their first personal budgets, tracking real or simulated income against actual spending patterns. They learn to evaluate value: why one purchase might be worth more than another despite costing less.
We introduce basic investment concepts through simulation portfolios, allowing participants to experience market dynamics without real risk. Marketing awareness modules help them recognise persuasion techniques targeting young consumers.
For participants aged 15-18, this comprehensive programme prepares them for financial independence. Content includes understanding payslips and taxation, navigating student finance options, building credit responsibly, and creating long-term financial plans.
We simulate real-world scenarios: renting a first flat, managing bills, dealing with unexpected expenses. Participants leave with practical tools they'll use within years, not decades.
These workshops bring parents and children together to establish shared financial values and household money systems. Ideal for families navigating transitions like preparing for university expenses, teaching teenagers about contributing to household costs, or simply getting everyone aligned on money conversations.
Sessions can accommodate children aged 8-17 alongside their parents or guardians. We facilitate productive discussions that families often struggle to have on their own.
For young people who benefit from individualised attention, our mentoring programme provides dedicated time with an experienced financial educator. Particularly valuable for teenagers with specific goals: saving for a major purchase, preparing for a gap year, or building foundations before starting university.
Sessions are fully customised based on initial assessment. We work at the participant's pace, focusing on areas where they need the most support.
We offer discounted rates for schools, youth groups, and community organisations booking multiple sessions. Contact us to discuss your requirements and receive a tailored quote.

We're happy to discuss your child's specific situation and recommend the best starting point. Sometimes a brief consultation reveals needs we wouldn't have anticipated from age alone.
"We weren't sure if our son was ready for the teen programme at 11, but the team assessed him and suggested we start there. It was the right call — he's thriving and actually looks forward to sessions."
