Providing financial education through the Livery Schools Link, the London-based Worshipful Company of Actuaries has teamed up with Teaching Business Enterprise and Employability in Schools (BEE) to provide financial education to young people. They are currently running schemes in 3 primary schools in the UK: one in Tower Hamlets in London, one in Dorking in Surrey, and one in Radlett in Hertfordshire.
Each scheme usually comprises 6 sessions across the academic year. 4 of the sessions are conducted in the classroom at the school with one optional session at the Bank of England. The final session is a Dragon’s Den style event hosted at local offices, where possible. Each session lasts up to 2 hours. Volunteers are not obligated to attend all sessions and all training and materials will be provided.
If you are a member of the IFoA and live or work in or near any of the locations, then please consider volunteering to share your enthusiasm and your knowledge of finance and business with young people in these schools.
