CITY PAY IT FORWARD

Making a Difference in the Community through Financial Literacy Education

Who We Are

City Pay it Forward is an independent, self-funded charity made up entirely of volunteers

Created by a passionate group of civically-minded business people and parents who decided to do something about an identified gap in the school curriculum in financial literacy education

Seeking to develop partnerships with like-minded groups, institutions and fellow volunteers is core to everything that we do at City Pay it Forward to achieve maximum impact

Early Years are Important

Children establish attitude towards money by the age of seven years old and behaviours towards money by fourteen …

… which means we need to undertake financial literacy education from an early age

Habit Formation and Learning Young Children
University of Cambridge study, May 2013

A group of business professionals and parents decided to roll up their sleeves and make an impact in their community by teaching students the basics in financial literacy

We believe anything is possible
