I am the Associate Organiser to the Money Mentor programme that is run by London Citizens. I intend to raise enough money to fund one undergraduate to deliver financial education to 125 inner City students. Why? I was an undergraduate and I was paid a Living Wage (£8.30 p/h) to become a Money Mentor last summer, since then I have re-joined the organisation to deliver Money Mentors on a permanent basis. The project not only trains the undergraduate in financial literacy and provides them with quality work experience but also targets the students that need financial education most to combat financial exclusion.

This project in more detail
What became “Mission: Money Mentors” aims to reduce financial hardship in our communities by spreading good financial practice and provide education about personal finance. Over the last two summers, the project has trained 50 young mentors who have taught 4,500 young people across the Capital. University-based classes taught by undergraduates give school pupils young, positive and well informed role models. They learn responsible money management and gain an understanding of the new tuition fees and student finance arrangements, while maintaining a balanced and realistic view.
