Make the Most of Your Money – My Money Week 2025
Managing money well might not be top of your priorities right now, but it is a skill that will be forever useful. Whether it’s pocket money, your first earnings from a part-time job, or saving for the future, knowing how to make the most of your cash is a game-changer. That’s why Young Enterprise’s My Money Week 2025 is here to help you take control of your money.
 
What is My Money Week 2025?
My Money Week is a national activity week, run by the charity Young Enterprise, that gives young people across the UK the tools and confidence to understand and manage their money.
​From 9 – 13 June 2025, the week is packed with fun and practical activities designed to boost your financial know-how. Whether you're in school or college, this is your chance to develop essential money skills that will serve you for life.

Why does it matter?
Money can be confusing. Budgeting, saving, and smart spending aren’t always taught in school; in fact, 6 out of 10 young people don’t learn about managing money at school. But research shows many young people want more financial knowledge and feel unprepared in how to manage their money.
Having a solid understanding of money can help you:

• Avoid unnecessary debt
• Save for things that matter (like that new item of clothing, a holiday or even a first car!)
• Make informed choices about student loans  
• Feel confident about handling real-world money situations

With the cost of living rising, it’s more important than ever to learn how to stretch your money further and avoid common financial pitfalls.
