The Big Issue is proud to introduce Pocket Money, our mini-magazine especially created for eight- to 14-year-olds that’s included free with this week’s magazine.
Produced in collaboration with The Week Junior, whose new issue out this Friday (March 8) also includes a free copy, it is aimed at children aged eight to 14.
The free mini-mag aims to enhance youngsters’ (and grown-ups!) understanding of financial matters, as part of our Big Issue Talks Money series.
It’s filled with insights on saving, earning, and investing for kids – breaking down financial concepts into easily digestible information, and encouraging youngsters to explore the value of money management.
A group of 10-year-olds who run their own successful social enterprises share their business secrets and advice on how to budget so that you can create a big social impact (Jeremy Hunt should take note!).
Why money matters, where it comes from, how you can save and grow it, and how to spend it wisely are among the big issues it tackles in easy terms. And there’s an interview with Kalpana Fitzpatrick, financial expert and author of children’s book Get to Know Money. Plus a quiz and budgeting tools to help young people get money smart.
