We were delighted to welcome Theresa Chambers, Executive Director of Enforcement and Market Oversight at the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), to our Central Library office this month to learn more about the work of Save by the Bell in Dundee schools.
Theresa Chambers, discussed our programmes in Dundee primary schools, and explored how early financial education can help young people build strong money habits that last a lifetime. The FCA were particularly interested in the positive impact our weekly savings collections and in‑school financial education sessions are having across the city, especially creating awareness about illegal money lending. From the Save by the Bell team, Amee Dilip( Project Manager) and Anne sharp (Trustee) attended the meeting along with Ken Corsar (General Manager) from Discovery Credit Union and together we highlighted our partnership work in providing essential money management skills to primary school pupils across Dundee through the weekly savings scheme.
We are extremely grateful to the FCA for taking the time to visit, for recognising the value of our work, and for sharing it across their social media channels.
