Our School Savers Club

The Purpose of Our School Saver Clubs

Our School Saver Clubs have been established with to encourage children to learn to save, with the aims of:

• helping children to budget and avoid debt problems in adult life
• enhancing children's maths skills
• educating children on the benefits of saving
• offering an accessible, familiar and safe environment to save regularly 
• providing training in administration and customer services for our volunteers who run the clubs
• offering a service that will support children to continue saving in adult life

 How Does it Work?

We train and work with 3 volunteers from each school, who run a weekly collection point at the school for pupils to deposit money into their savings account.  Volunteers are usually teaching staff, parent volunteers and in some schools, supervised volunteer pupils. The deposits are then credited to the savings account of each pupil. Withdrawals can be made at any time in the same way as any other junior saver account. A variable annual dividend is also paid into savers' accounts each spring.
