Financial Education / Youth Engagement Award

The Financial Education / Youth Engagement Award recognises a credit union or team that has made a real, measurable impact in improving financial literacy and engaging with young people or youth groups.

In simple terms, it celebrates work that:

• Helps young people understand money, savings, borrowing, and budgeting
• Builds financial confidence and life skills in schools or youth groups
• Strengthens the credit union’s role as an educator, not just a financial provider
• Creates meaningful outreach programmes that go beyond day-to-day services

It’s focused on education + community impact, not just marketing or general service delivery. This award is about:

Who is doing the best job at teaching young people how to understand and manage money – and proving it makes a difference.
