Annual

Report
2019
Creating a inancially capable and enterprising generation
Why Financial Education?
Half of young people in the UK worry they will never be inancially stable.
A quarter of children live in poverty*. A decade of austerity has seen young
people face the gig economy, higher rents and increased personal
responsibility with less security.

The beneits of a meaningful inancial education are evident but there remains
signiicant gaps in relevant, effective and evaluated provision. Today, having
key money management skills and positive inancial habits is essential to
live independently.

Chair & CEO's Welcome
As MyBnk enters its teenage years we are working
hard to keep youth at the heart of everything we do.

This year I was delighted to welcome Yasmin Drakes


to represent young people on our Trustee Board and
begin the process of evolving youth participation to
better relect who we work with.

Towards fulilling our wider vision, we helped develop


a uniied Financial Education Planning Framework for
3-19 year olds with partners of the UK’s Youth
Financial Capability Group.

Distributed with the support of Martin Lewis OBE, it will support teachers to embed high quality
inancial education into their lessons and signpost to organisations such as MyBnk.

There is never a dull moment at MyBnk. We look ahead to the next decade with the desire to scale the
impact of the last one, I hope many will join us for the next leg of the journey.

Lily Lapenna-Huda MBE, Chair, MyBnk

This year MyBnk delivered a record 6,600 hours of


expert-led inancial education, an increase of 7%.

For the irst time our work with young adults


exceeded that of school children, consolidating
us as the leader in this specialised ield.

Continued independent evaluation proved that


participants develop positive money behaviours,
start to save, reduce debts and avoid eviction
long after our intervention.

We brought our range of award-winning programmes to new parts of the UK, opening hubs in the
North West, Yorkshire, and Scotland - including a third location for the youth homelessness prevention
scheme, The Money House, in Westminster. MyBnk also delivered a strong legacy for our project
helping young people with sensory impairments, Money Mechanics.

With the KickStart Money coalition, MyBnk continued to campaign for compulsory money lessons in
primary schools engaging over a dozen prominent MPs on the frontline.

I was also delighted to recognise the achievements of members of our Youth Advisory Panel with our
new Young Trustee.

Experience and evidence are leading us to increase our focus on the under 11s and 16-25 year olds –
the very young and the transition into adulthood. We plan to deliver fewer, but more concentrated,
sessions with 11-16 year olds, acknowledging the day-to-day time pressures most schools face.

With our team refreshed and expanded, a new government and the Money and Pension Service
strategic plan published, we look forward to contributing to an exciting year for inancial education
with the support of our wonderful funders, trustees, patrons and youth advisors.

and collaboration.

“Collaboration with partners, such as MyBnk,


who continue to use innovative ways to reach
and engage children and young people and can
deliver at scale, is key to reaching our 2030
target for two million more young people to
receive a meaningful inancial education”. Sarah

Case Study

“When leaving care, I knew it was the start of the journey


to debt. I wasn’t taught about bills, rent, council tax or
housing beneit. It was overwhelming to the point I thought
there was nothing to live for and tried to ile for bankruptcy.
Learning to live independently taught me I had worth. I am
so grateful MyBnk helped me focus my mind and deal with
the hardships and confusion. Every month since I started
work, I know exactly how much I earn, what is coming in,
going out, and how much I have left after paying bills”.

MyBnk provides a range of expert-led inancial
education and enterprise workshops for 7-25 year
olds in schools and youth organisations. These

How We Do It
MyBnk takes a holistic approach to education,
using real life case studies, colourful resources,
games, videos and links to popular culture to
bring money to life whilst catering for all
learning types. Sessions challenge negative
inancial attitudes and build self-belief.

Super Methodology

Specialist: Delivered by experienced trainers.

Unique: We embrace innovative teaching methods to maximise learning.

Participatory: Young people learn by doing. Our Youth Advisory Panel meets regularly to advise
us, co-create programme content and act as ambassadors.

Effective: Programmes are suitable for a wide range of young people in different settings.

Relevant: We use real life stories, examples and videos to talk about money in a relatable way.

Programme Development
The needs of young people are ever-evolving and
MyBnk evolves with them.

Last year we renewed our lagship schools


programme, Money Twist, in alignment with the
curriculum, independent evaluation and the new
Financial Education Planning Framework. Our
Key Stage 4 offering was reduced from three
to two 100-minute workshops to better it the
stretched GCSE timetable. We also created a
new Key Stage 5 programme, designed for those
about to enter the workplace, begin an
apprenticeship or live independently.

Our programmes for young adults entered a


detailed renewal process, relecting the lessons
of signiicant, independent evaluations. New
topics were added including money muling and

and prioritisation. Four hours of face-to-face expert-led sessions were supported with six hours of
teacher resources and four hours of family activities.

Secondary Schools - Money Twist KS3/4/5


This year we revised our evaluation tools with new research from the Money and Pensions Service after
taking part in last year’s Money Advice Service ‘What Works’ project. This included tracking the habits
and behaviours of participants, the key drivers behind an individual's inancial capability. We have also
aligned measurement tools across our secondary school offerings to allow for better consistency. Our
evaluation found a 15% increase in those able to correctly identify how banks apply interest, a 20%

Preventing Youth Homelessness -


The Money House (TMH)

Following last year's powerful impact results, TMH


project was renewed for three years. Existing funders
JP Morgan and The Berkeley Foundation, were joined
by the L&Q Foundation.

TMH worked with over 550 young adults in vulnerable


circumstances across London. This year also saw an
expansion of the project to a third borough, the City of
Westminster.

The youth homelessness prevention scheme is now a


mandatory requirement for young people accessing
social housing within partner boroughs and has 45
referral partners including Centrepoint and Depaul UK.

UK Hubs
2018/19 has been an exciting year for MyBnk's
growth outside of London.

In the South East of England we have doubled our


delivery capacity, focusing in and around
Southampton and Portsmouth. We have
continued signiicant delivery in schools whilst
developing our contacts for young adult provision.

In the North West of England, we focus on Money


Works, Enterprise-in-a-Box and Money Twist KS2.
We have also expanded to South Lancashire and
North Cheshire from our Liverpool base.

In Scotland, we deliver these same programmes


across the Glasgow-Edinburgh central belt and
are authorised by the Scottish Qualiication
Authority to issue oficial awards in Personal
Money Management.

International
This year MyBnk trained youth workers from the
Value School in Madrid, Spain, to adapt and
deliver our Money Works programme to 16-25
year olds as they diversify their interventions.
Money Mechanics
Using MyBnk’s tried and tested programmes as a
base, together with the Royal Association of Deaf
people (RAD), we created three distinct and
accessible interventions for young people with
sensory impairments. These sessions build
inancial capability, provide practical enterprise
experiences and prepare students for university.

After 13 months of development and delivery to


600 young people in 34 specialist schools and
associations, we published a legacy of resources
that can change lives. Currently MyBnk deliver

Communications
Communications played a crucial role in
leveraging MyBnk’s independent evaluation reports,
which showed our work has a deep and lasting
impact on the lives of young people.

Findings from our primary school study were


featured in an all-day live location report for BBC
News and additional stories shared via BBC London
and BBC Worldwide Radio.

The powerful results of The Money House (TMH) youth homelessness prevention scheme appeared in
the Financial Times, Guardian and Big Issue – the latter resulting in MyBnk being named as a
Changemaker organisation for preventing youth homelessness in the UK.

Our experts shared their knowledge with tips and commentary via the Daily Mail, The Times and the
inancial sector press. We also spread the word of our new UK Hubs, appearing on BBC Radio
Merseyside and in the Yorkshire Post.

The voice of young people shone through in case studies and opinion pieces in national newspapers.
BBC Radio 4’s Moneybox show shared how TMH helped a young care leaver transition into
independent living. The Guardian also ran a piece on our Young Trustee’s appointment to our board.

External Relations
MyBnk supported wider efforts promoting
inancial education for young people by speaking at
and organising events for our Money Mechanics
project, the MRS Youth Research Conference and
StepChange's Debt Advice Forum.

Young people from our Youth Advisory Panel also


shared their experiences of helping to improve money
lessons at the Money and Pensions Service’s (MaPS)
Financial Education Conference.

MyBnk gave our insights and research to the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Financial Education for
Young People's ‘Children in Care’ investigation, the MaPS Listening Document, the London Children in
Care & Partnership for Young London – Social Action Research Report and Ofsted Inspection
Framework consultation.

MP visits to our primary school workshops, in partnership with funders, KickStart Money, included the
Chair of the Education Select Committee Rt Hon. Robert Halfon MP. Our CEO, Guy Rigden, promoted
our values on MaPS’ Financial Capability Board and the Consumer Advisory Board of UK Finance. With
members of the Youth Financial Capability Group, a joint sector organisation, we shared a vision for
universal effectiveness in the Financial Times. TMH was showcased at the UK’s Financial Education
Forum of inancial educators, funders and supporters.

We also ran our own inancial capability awareness


week on the Isle of Man with Old Mutual Wealth
International, helping over 600 young people.

MyBnk continues to make the case for proper funding


for inancial education in UK schools and adequate
support of young adults in vulnerable circumstances.
15
Plans for the Future
MyBnk has a vision to become fully national and
triple the number of young people we work with
within three to ive years. We will build on core
programmes and innovate our delivery, training and
funding models.

Plans are already underway with a sector


consortium to deliver and test at scale, inancial
education offerings for 16 and 17 year olds, and
independently, young people of working age. These
trials, directly commissioned by the Money and
Pensions Service (MaPS), may act as a precursor for
national rollouts.

Evolving our Offering


Delivery to young adults in vulnerable circumstances will comprise approximately 60% of MyBnk’s
total training hours in 2019/20, an increase of 20%, underpinned by an increased delivery of Money
Works and a new third, and planned fourth, location for The Money House project.

Work is also underway to support young people who have English as a Second Language.

Our core development project is the creation of digital resources and teacher training for 5-7 year olds.
We will evaluate at the level of teacher and child and, if successful, this departure from our direct
delivery model could provide a platform and learnings for other efforts. We also plan to increase our
primary school work, supported by the KickStart Money consortium.

Most growth can be seen through our UK Hubs. We hope to expand to the Midlands and deepen our
efforts in the North West and Scotland. We are adding more regional context to core content.

Under the umbrella of ‘Magnet MyBnk’, we are exploring and testing a modular set of digital
outcomes-linked resources accessed directly by young people, working with a youth platform to
digitalise and distribute this content.

Evaluation across existing and developing programmes will help demonstrate the direct beneit to
organisations that may commission us and support further expansion.

Youth at the Heart


This year will see a major revamp in our youth participation
strategy to ensure young people remain at the heart of
everything we do. This includes the launch of an Ambassador
Schools programme and a fundamental revision of our
engagement with young adults.
As our team grows and becomes more nationally dispersed, we
are strengthening infrastructure, systems, technology and
processes.
We will continue to be widely and deeply networked, renewing our mandate with members of the Youth
Financial Capability Group, and representation and contribution to industry bodies and think-tanks.
The new government and the direction of MaPS, the Department for Education and HM Treasury remain
crucial in shaping the sector.

of Association on 17 April 2007. The company number is 6215005. MyBnk is also a registered charity number
1123791.

Method of Appointment or Election of Trustees


The management of the company is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the
terms of the Memorandum of the Articles. The Board approve the vision and objectives of the organisation.
Plans, budgets and strategies are regularly reviewed and approved. Publications from the Charity Commission
and other organisations regarding Trustees’ roles and responsibilities are made available and training for the
general and speciic role of trustees is available when required. The Board meets quarterly.

Organisational Structure and Decision Making


The Board appoints and delegates the responsibility for the day-to-day management of MyBnk to the CEO, who
provides leadership to the organisation. The CEO is responsible to the Board in the execution of his duties and
leads the Management Team, which is organised functionally, consisting of Business Development,
Communications, Education, Expansion and Impact, and Operations.

The Finance Committee, overseeing income and expenditure, The Risk Committee covers risks in all aspects.
Each meet quarterly and report to the main Board.
17
Public Beneit
The trustees are mindful of their duty under the Charities Act 2011 to ensure that the Charity’s activities exist for
the public beneit. They have considered Charity Commission guidance on public beneit and are satisied that
the performance and achievements of the Charity during the year have beneited the public.

Fundraising with the Public


We are not pro-actively fundraising with the wider public and do not engage in street, door-to-door or private
site fundraising but we do get occasional donations from individuals that know us or hear about us in the media
or through our work. We adhere to the rulebooks of the Fundraising Regulator. No complaints were made in the
reporting period.

Remuneration Policy
MyBnk are committed to ensuring that we pay our staff fairly and in a way which ensures we attract and retain
the right skills to have the greatest impact in delivering our charitable objectives. MyBnk’s CEO, COO and
relevant team leaders propose changes to staff salaries to the Board of Trustees for their approval. The CEO’s
salary is set by the Chair of Trustees, taking into account the performance and development of the organisation.
Further considerations and factors in the process of setting remunerations at MyBnk are set out in our
Remuneration and Beneits Policy.

Management of Risk
The Trustees are ultimately responsible for risk management at MyBnk. The Executive continually monitors risk,
formally updating a monthly a risk register to be addressed by the Team Leaders. The Risk Committee meets
quarterly to oversee the management of organisational, reputational and other risks.

Risk: Changes in funder trends, public spending cuts, policy changes and deteriorating economic conditions
could lead to a reduction in our access to income.

Mitigation: We have put measures in place to increase the lexibility of our expenditure and the robustness and
diversity of our income. Our income strategy emphasises income diversiication and conservatively estimates the
success rate of bids. We also work to maintain a strong pipeline of prospective funders. In 2019 we hired a new
Commercial Director and intend to strengthen earned income from sales, contracts and consultancy.

Risk: We are working with a large number of young people every year and we hold data on a relatively small
number of them. There is a risk of our staff failing in their safeguarding duties, and there is also the potential for
loss of data of vulnerable people. In either case this could have wide ranging consequences for the young people
affected and MyBnk.

Mitigation: We regularly train all our staff on how to spot and deal with children and vulnerable adult
safeguarding issues and we run DBS checks for all our workers. We have a full range of policies and procedures
in place, including Data Protection and Child and Vulnerable Adult Protection, which we annually review and
update.

Risk: Failure to deliver against funders’ requirements due to failure to employ and train suficient education
oficers and freelance trainers in a timely manner, or due to failure to effectively liaise with partner organisations
to reach young people.

Mitigation: Education delivery is our core business. We have experienced management, quality and training,
facilitation and income teams. We monitor progress at our bi-weekly team leaders’ meeting and take action when
required. We have taken more operational control of delivery outside of London, and all deliveries are recorded
through our Salesforce CRM system, giving us timely information on delivery progress. We have been improving
our recruitment processes and benchmark our salaries to relevant competitors in the market.

Risk: High staff turnover and dificulties in attracting and retaining quality staff and the related loss of unique
MyBnk knowledge and culture.

Mitigation: Our People are recognised as key enablers of our work and we focus on them. In 2019 we introduced
a Wellbeing policy and signed the ‘time to change’ pledge run by the mental health charity Mind. We undertake
an annual salary review and have a policy of personal development and training for all employees. Our staff
appraisal system gives opportunity for 360˚ feedback and is designed to recognise issues early.

Further forward commitments from a range of funders total £1,075,193 at 31 August 2019 for the inancial year

expenditure (currently £471,300). Our income targets include a surplus in unrestricted funds. Reserves are

providing ongoing Salesforce and IT support. We received support through the JP Morgan Force for Good
programme to develop and reine our management data dashboard. Alexander Beard Wealth LLP are handling
our pension and staff beneit administration.

Statement of Responsibilities of the Trustees

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the annual report and the inancial statements in accordance with
applicable law and regulations.

Company law requires the trustees to prepare inancial statements for each inancial year. Under that law the
trustees have elected to prepare the inancial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally
Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law
the trustees must not approve the inancial statements unless they are satisied that they give a true and fair view
of the state of affairs of the charitable company, and of the result of the charitable company for that year.

In preparing these inancial statements, the trustees are required to:

• Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;


• Observe the principles in the Charities SORP;
• Make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
• State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures
disclosed and explained in the inancial statements;
• Prepare the inancial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the
charitable company will continue in business.

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are suficient to show and explain the
Charity’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the inancial position of the Charity and
enable them to ensure that the inancial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also
responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention
and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

So far as each of the Trustees is aware at the time the report is approved:

• There is no relevant audit information of which the Charity's auditors are unaware; and
• The Trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any
relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.

Auditors
Haysmacintyre LLP have indicated their willingness to continue in ofice and a resolution will be proposed for
reappointment in accordance with section 485 of the Companies Act 2006.

In preparing this report, the Trustees have taken advantage of the small companies exemptions provided by
section 415A of the Companies Act 2006.

This report was approved by the board on 6th February 2020 and signed on its behalf by:

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of MyBnk
Opinion
We have audited the inancial statements of MyBnk for the year ended 31 August 2019 which comprise the
Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet, Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the inancial statements,
including a summary of signiicant accounting policies. The inancial reporting framework that has been applied
in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting
Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom
Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion, the inancial statements:


• give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company’s affairs as at 31 August 2019 and of the
charitable company’s net movement in funds, including the income and expenditure, for the year then
ended;
• have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting
Practice; and
• have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

Basis for Opinion


We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable
law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit
of the inancial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical
requirements that are relevant to our audit of the inancial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s
Ethical Standard, and we have fulilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is suficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
opinion.

Responsibilities of Trustees for the Financial Statements


As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement, set out on page 19, the trustees (who are also
the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of
the inancial statements and for being satisied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as
the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of inancial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the inancial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company’s ability
to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going
concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease
operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the inancial statements as a whole are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise
from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be
expected to inluence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these inancial statements.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the inancial statements is located on the Financial
Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our
auditor’s report.
21
Conclusions Relating to Going Concern
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to
report to you where:
• the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the inancial statements
is not appropriate; or
• the trustees have not disclosed in the inancial statements any identiied material uncertainties that may
cast signiicant doubt about the charitable company’s ability to continue to adopt the going concern
basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the inancial statements
are authorised for issue.

Other Information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included
in the Trustees’ Annual Report. Our opinion on the inancial statements does not cover the other information and,
except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion
thereon.

In connection with our audit of the inancial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in
doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the inancial statements or our
knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material
inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material
misstatement in the inancial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work
we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to
report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on Other Matters Prescribed by the Companies Act 2006


In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
• the information given in the Trustees’ Annual Report (which incorporates the directors’ report) for the
inancial year for which the inancial statements are prepared is consistent with the inancial statements;
and
• the Trustees’ Annual Report (which incorporates the directors’ report) has been prepared in accordance
with applicable legal requirements.

Matters on Which we are Required to Report by Exception


In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the
course of the audit, we have not identiied material misstatements in the Trustees’ Annual Report (which
incorporates the directors’ report).

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006
requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
• adequate accounting records have not been kept by the charitable company; or
• the charitable company inancial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and
returns; or
• certain disclosures of trustees’ remuneration speciied by law are not made; or
• we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
• the trustees were not entitled to prepare the inancial statements in accordance with the small
companies’ regime and take advantage of the small companies’ exemptions in preparing the trustees’
report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.

Use of our Report


This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16
of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's
members those matters we are required to state to them in an Auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the
fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable
company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions
we have formed.
