New financial platform launched for young people in Wales
NatWest Group has expanded its NatWest Thrive initiative, which started as a youth club programme, into a free online resource.
The platform combines more than 30 years of community initiatives, including MoneySense, CareerSense, and Dream Bigger, into one.
It offers a range of learning tools for young people and was created in collaboration with teachers, youth workers, and young people.
Marg Jobling, chief marketing officer at NatWest, said: "We're on a mission to help young people turn possibilities into progress, helping the next generation grow up money confident and achieve their life goals.
"To help us meet that commitment we've made NatWest Thrive bigger and better by combining over 30 years of community programmes to help young people build their financial confidence.
"NatWest Thrive gives teachers, parents, and youth workers access to bite-sized pieces of real-world content and resources to help inspire and empower young people to break through barriers and take action towards owning the future they want."
NatWest Thrive provides access to new, flexible, real-world learning content to engage young people at home, in the classroom, or in youth clubs in Wales.
The content ranges from five-minute clips to full-length lessons, using real-life role models and stories.
NatWest Thrive is available free to anyone, whether they are customers or non-customers, online across NatWest, Royal Bank of Scotland, and Ulster Bank Northern Ireland.
