Yorkshire Building Society’s branch manager in Portsmouth Emma Palmer said: ‘Learning how to effectively manage finances is a vital life skill. As research has shown that disadvantaged pupils are over two years behind their peers by the time they are 16 and we want to use our colleagues’ expertise in financial education to help narrow that gap.
