How Flic is helping young people understand the consequences of tapping or clicking to pay.
Whether training children to use contactless bank cards responsibly, educating on the risks of ‘buy now pay later’ schemes, teaching the types of bills to expect when you live independently or diving into how stocks and shares work, the Financial Times’ Financial Literacy and Inclusion Campaign (Flic) is working to build financial confidence in young people.
We are proud to have been selected alongside them as the Financial Times’ two Christmas charities this year. Together, we seek to transform the lives of young people, filling breakfast bowls with nutritious fuel for the day and filling young minds with life-long skills.
By supporting Flic and Magic Breakfast this winter, readers can provide a lasting gift for children that will resonate for many Christmases to come.
Evidencing the link between financial education in childhood and financial capability in adulthood is key to Flic’s mission.”
– Claer Barrett, Financial Times
If our joint campaign can raise £1 million this Christmas, this would feed the bellies and curious minds of 10,000 students for a whole year.
