Financial Empowerment for Young People

Join us for an evening discussion exploring how financial education and inclusion can better support young people, particularly those from minority communities, across the UK.

Organised by the Financial Inclusion Forum in partnership with the Hyfa Foundation, City University and Woke Finance, this event will bring together practitioners and experts to discuss what can be done to tackle financial exclusion and improve financial confidence among young people.

Recent research has highlighted gaps in financial capability, particularly in areas such as budgeting, credit, and long-term planning. This session will explore how we can strengthen financial education, improve access, and build more inclusive systems that support young people in navigating financial services.

What to Expect:

• Insights on financial inclusion challenges facing young people in the UK
• Discussion on the role of education in building financial capability
• Perspectives from organisations working directly with young people
• Audience Q&A and networking opportunity

Why Attend:

• Gain insights from research and real-world initiatives improving financial literacy and inclusion for young people in the UK
• Hear diverse perspectives from practitioners, students, and organisations working directly on financial education and empowerment
• Connect with professionals across finance, policy, and social impact, and continue the conversation through networking
