We are Money Ready

Money Ready is a financial education charity dedicated to creating a financially fluent population. We believe that financial literacy should be considered a right for all because the language of money is a language for life.

Poor financial literacy is central to many problems people face today, including rising mental health issues, homelessness and unemployment. We’re here to change that.

We work with over 50,000 people across the UK every year, delivering expert-designed, high-impact financial education programmes. We want to bring the language of finance to life so that everyone can navigate their money with confidence, no matter where they started.

RedSTART Educate is now part of Money Ready. Together, we’re expanding access to financial education from early years to adulthood. Learn more.

The Cost of Not Knowing

Every day, people across the UK make financial decisions that shape their lives. But too often, those choices are harder than they should be. When people aren’t taught how the system works, the cost can be high. Our new research shows the average person loses over £640 every year to confusion and indecision.

Our latest campaign, The Cost of Not Knowing, aims to address this challenge at a systemic level.

Sign our open letter, write to your MP or share our message with your networks! Let's make financial education a right, not a privilege, because the cost of not knowing is higher than it looks.
