BMONEYWIZE CIC Information

Recently featured by @ITV News, @BBCMoneyBox, @BBC Money, and Daily Mail, Sunday Times, bMoney Wize is an award-winning, youth-focused social enterprise with the aim to enable young adults to develop the knowledge, skills and confidence to become financially literate and numerate so they can make wiser financial choices, enrich career choices, increase employment opportunities and business if they wish to do so. bMoneywize, a personal finance and numeracy toolkit, sits at the heart of the bMoney Wize value proposition. Child-friendly , youth-inspired, the game is adept at juggling tricky concepts and introducing them in an interesting and accessible way by adapting financial situations for kids. By presenting scenarios the kids can relate to, you allow them to put themselves in teachable moments. These moments then serve as opportunities to explain concepts like passive income, budgeting and saving! It also helps children get the point of maths due to a number die feature. We know that schools focus heavily on maths education of children, but financial education is rarely part of a high-school curriculum, leaving children lacking very important real-life skills. We exist to meet the demand for financial education, pioneering a fun and new approach to teaching. Comments from children: "I think it's like real life, so you understand the way that adults see their lives" - Aged 10 "I like the game because it's involving money in it - then you, because like it shows you and then your parents that they pay for stuff, and how they take the money away and how you learn to use it properly so you make responsible decisions" - Aged 9 " I think the game has a lot of strategy. It uses a lot of maths and calculations, which I find very amusing. That's what I like about the game" - Aged 10 "It's a fun game, it's very educative. It gets you ready for your adult life. You do lots of different calculations" - Aged 10
