Young people are at the heart of this project and are consulted regularly on how things should be run, designed and we think of new ideas for the project.
All my peers in the group became involved because we all believe that financial education should be taught in schools and should be taught well. We are a diverse group and are representative across the whole of England and work extremely well as a group with the help of Young NCB staff.
