Yorkshire Building Society is hosting special free financial education events for children aged 5-11 during October half term.

More than 50 branches across the UK are taking part in the initiative.

Children will be able to participate in one of the Society’s Money Minds sessions run by staff members.

Gary Fowler, director of distribution at Yorkshire Building Society, said: “We know holidays can be an expensive time for families so we wanted to offer some fun and free activities for children around the country. Learning how to effectively manage finances is a vital life skill.

“We really want to engage children, parents and grandparents in the area to help them start conversations about money and pass on their knowledge. These sessions will enable them to test and expand their vocabulary and understanding of money through our activities.

Here’s a full list of where and when the sessions take place:
