Wrapping up a year of impact – Money Ready’s 2024-25 Impact Report

As we wrap up another year of empowering people with financial education, we’re proud to share that in the 2024–25 academic year our programmes reached even more learners than last year – equipping over 58,000 young people with essential money management skills at a time when financial literacy and fluency have never been more important. 

This year also marked a major milestone for us. In June 2025, we proudly introduced our new name and identity: Money Ready. This change represents more than just a rebrand. It reflects our aim to ensure that people from all backgrounds are prepared to understand, manage, and take control of their finances. In short, we help people become money ready. 

As the calendar year draws to a close, we’re thrilled to launch our 2024-25 Impact Report – our own version of a “year wrapped”, celebrating what we’ve achieved together and setting the stage for the work ahead as we continue to drive systemic change in the way financial education is delivered across the UK.

Highlights from the year 

We were thrilled to see financial education front and centre in the government’s Curriculum & Assessment Review Final Report this November. This is a huge step forward for children and young people across England. Introducing financial education from Key Stage 1 brings England in line with other UK nations, while stronger provision in secondary schools will help create a continuous learning journey into adulthood.  

However, as we have seen across the UK, inclusion on the curriculum alone is not enough. Financial education has technically been part of the secondary curriculum in England since 2014, yet provision remains patchy and too many young people still leave school without the essentials of budgeting, saving, credit or understanding payslips. Our ongoing campaign will be to emphasise the urgent need for impactful integration and execution, offering our expertise in making this a real, lived experience in every classroom, not just a line in a policy document. Read our full response to the curriculum review. 

On 1st September 2025, we took a bold step closer towards our vision of building a financially fluent population by merging with RedSTART Educate. Together, we’ve created a refreshed, compelling offer of financial education provision for ages 4-40; helping us to meet people at more life stages. By joining forces, we’re expanding our reach, enhancing our evidence base, and accelerating innovation across our programmes. This partnership allows us to deliver lifelong financial education – from early years to adulthood – in more communities than ever before. 

We also expanded our digital offering this year by focusing on creating new digital education content to reach more learners online. Our Money Ready Mondays and two Big Money Lessons have significantly expanded our reach, with the latter engaging over 3,100 young people who might not otherwise have participated. 

Furthermore, in October 2025, as part of our 20th year celebrations, we launched our three policy asks — designed to strengthen the UK’s financial education provision across three key areas. Find out more about the event and our policy asks here.
