Adding up to a Lifetime

A screenshot from the Adding up for a lifetime booklet/CD

The Specialist Schools and Academies Trust, in partnership with the Prudential, has produced this innovative interactive resource. It follows the lives of four animated characters from school to retirement, engaging in their financial decisions and the consequences. The characters have their own very different ideas on financial managment and draw pupils into the resource by asking for help.
