A high-street bank is encouraging parents and carers to teach kids about money with a new workshop.

NatWest is putting on workshops to encourage parents and carers to be able to talk to their kids about money and provide strategies, tips as well as give them more confidence when tackling the subject.

Learn, Talk, Do, is the new digital workshop that aims to help people with children gain the skills they need to give their kids that all important head start in life in two hour sessions.

The workshop was created by the Money and Pensions Service and is being delivered by NatWest’s team of community bankers.

The workshop is split into six core sections, which are brought to life through activities and discussion covering why we need to actively teach our children about money, how to teach children through everyday activities, and options for how best to put this into practice.

According to the Royal Mint’s 2021 Savings Report, 78% have vowed to improve their financial habits throughout this financial year to benefit their children’s futures.

Gregory Couch, one of NatWest’s Community Bankers, said: "The workshop has been designed to be relaxed and fun, so you can take part whilst sat on your sofa with a coffee.

"It’s definitely not like being back in school.

"If your children are with you too that’s absolutely fine, we know how difficult it is juggling things when you’re a parent or carer.

"That’s why there’s several workshops to choose from, each taking place on different dates and times of the day so you can pick the one that best suits you.

"All you need is access to Zoom.

"Today four out of 10 adults feel they are not in control of their finances and that’s why it’s so important we empower children from a young age so that as adults they’ll be more confident and secure with their finances.

"The workshop is therefore two hours that can really transform your children’s lives and allow you to give them an important head start in life."

The dates for the workshops are: July 7, 18:30 to 20:30; July 8, 10:00 to 12:00; July 13, 12:00 to 14:00; July 14, 10:00 to 12:00; July 20, 18:30 to 20:30; and July 22, 12:00 to 14:00.
