STAFF at the Yorkshire Building Society branch in High Street, Ealing, will be giving financial advice to children over the October half-term holiday.

On Thursday, October 24, visitors are invited to drop-in any time between 9am and 4pm.

Children will be able to take part in Money Minds, which is suitable for those aged 5-11. There are balloons and sweets to act as an extra incentive.

Terry Barker, branch manager at Ealing, said: “Learning how to effectively manage finances is a vital life skill.

“We really want to engage [with] children, parents and grandparents to help them start conversations about money and pass on their knowledge.”

More than 20,000 pupils across the UK have received a Money Minds lesson since the programme launched in 2015.
