Money Week 2010

‘Money Week’ is taking place in 75 further education colleges across England from the 8th to the 12 of March.

Fun and interactive activities within the colleges will help teach students more about their money and how to properly manage it- from saving and debt, to hidden costs and economical alternatives. The theme is “beware of deals that are too good to be true!”

‘Money Week’ forms part of our Financial Services Authority (FSA) Financial Capability project. Read more about the project.
