Working with and for young people in Cumbria                Home


MyBnk is an education charity which helps 11 to 25 year olds manage their money effectively and make enterprising choices. Cumbria Youth Alliance are now delivering their programmes across the County!

MyBnk’s high-energy style introduces young people to all aspects of money management, from earning and budgeting to planning for university and banking.

It also gives young people access to interest free loans and support to turn their business dreams into reality.

With tough job markets and tuition fee rises, the need has never

been greater.

In schools and youth organisations, we’ll be getting young people

excited about money, understanding how it makes the world go round,

as well as confronting worries and boosting confidence.
