In Birmingham, we're changing how young people think about money. Our programmes build confident, capable financial thinkers aged 7 to 18.
Explore Our ProgrammesMost adults wish they had learned about money earlier. Studies show that children who understand financial basics by age twelve make significantly better decisions throughout their lives. They save more, borrow wisely, and feel less stressed about money as adults.
Yet financial literacy remains absent from most school curricula. Children absorb attitudes about money from watching parents and peers, often picking up habits that will hold them back later. Breaking this cycle requires intentional education at the right age.
Our approach differs from typical classroom instruction. Young people learn through active participation, making decisions with real consequences in a safe environment. They discover why saving matters not because we tell them, but because they experience the satisfaction of reaching their own goals.
Children who receive financial education are three times more likely to save regularly as teenagers and twice as likely to have emergency funds as young adults.
Operating from the heart of Birmingham since 2019, we understand local families. Our educators work in schools across the West Midlands and run weekend programmes for families who want deeper engagement with financial concepts.
Every session balances practical skills with age-appropriate complexity. Seven-year-olds learn through games involving coins and simple choices. Teenagers tackle budgeting apps, compound interest, and the psychology of spending. Parents often tell us their children start asking questions about household finances they never expected.
We recognise that an eight-year-old and a sixteen-year-old need completely different approaches. Our structured programmes progress naturally, building on previous knowledge while introducing new challenges.
Interactive sessions introducing saving, spending choices, and the value of patience. Children use real coins and make decisions that teach delayed gratification.
An eight-week programme covering budgeting, banking basics, smart shopping, and understanding advertising. Prepares teenagers for part-time work.
Introduction to investing, compound growth, risk assessment, and building long-term wealth. Includes stock market simulation with real data.
Parents and children work together on household budgeting concepts. Establishes healthy money conversations and shared financial goals.
Week-long intensive during school holidays. Daily workshops, team challenges, and a final project where participants create their own savings plan.
Personalised sessions addressing specific financial questions or challenges. Ideal for teenagers preparing for university or first employment.
My daughter came home from the workshop asking to set up a savings account. She now puts aside a portion of her birthday money without being asked. The change in her thinking has been remarkable.— Sarah M., parent of 9-year-old participant
Our methods draw from behavioural economics research showing that knowledge alone rarely changes behaviour. Instead, we create emotional connections to financial concepts. When a child sets a goal, works toward it, and achieves it, that memory shapes their future relationship with money.
Participants leave with practical tools they can apply immediately. Younger children receive savings charts and coin-sorting activities. Teenagers gain access to budgeting templates and recommended reading lists curated for their age group.
Spaces fill quickly, especially during school terms. Reserve your place today.
Enrol NowWe brought pixel-curator into our Year 8 curriculum and saw immediate engagement. Students who usually switch off during traditional lessons were genuinely excited about the activities.— James R., Deputy Head, Birmingham Academy
Schools across the West Midlands partner with us to supplement their PSHE programmes. Our team works alongside teachers to ensure sessions complement existing curricula while adding depth that most schools cannot provide independently.
We offer reduced rates for schools booking multiple sessions or serving communities with limited resources. No child should miss financial education due to circumstances beyond their control.

What if my child finds maths difficult?
Our programmes focus on concepts and decision-making, not calculations. Children who struggle with maths often excel because we emphasise real-world understanding over numbers.
Can siblings attend together?
Absolutely. Family sessions accommodate multiple children, and we adjust activities so everyone participates meaningfully regardless of age differences.
Do you offer online sessions?
Currently, all programmes run in-person across Birmingham venues. The interactive nature of our teaching works best face-to-face, though we provide digital follow-up materials.
